Why This Recipe is Awesome

Let’s be honest—some recipes promise “easy” but secretly require a culinary degree and the patience of a saint. This isn’t one of those. These Sweet Blueberry Biscuits are:

• Foolproof – Seriously, even if you “don’t bake,” you’ve got this.

• Customizable – Want them less sweet? More buttery? Add lemon zest? Go wild.

Basically, it’s the kind of recipe that makes you look like you tried hard… when you absolutely didn’t.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Grab these goodies, and let’s get baking:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour – The base of all biscuit greatness.
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar – Sweet, but not too sweet.
• 1 tbsp baking powder – Rise and shine!
• 1/2 tsp salt – Balance is key, my friend.
• 1/2 cup cold butter (cubed) – Cold = flaky biscuits. Don’t fight it.
• 3/4 cup buttermilk – For that tangy, tender bite.
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries – The stars of the show.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract – Optional, but adds a sweet whisper.
• 1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing) – Because more butter = more joy.

Optional Glaze (a.k.a. the magic touch):

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tbsp mil
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Don’t skip this, or your biscuits will rise slower than your Monday morning motivation.
2. Mix dry ingredients – In a big bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in the butter – Toss those cold cubes into your flour and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until crumbly (like coarse sand).
4. Add buttermilk and vanilla – Stir gently until it just comes together. No overmixing—this isn’t  workout.
5. Fold in blueberries – Be gentle! You want blueberries in your biscuits, not blue streaks everywhere.
6. Shape the dough – Turn it onto a floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick slab, and cut out biscuits using a round cutter (or a glass—improvise!).
7. Bake – Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and bake for 15–18 minutes until golden and dreamy.
8. Make the glaze – Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over warm biscuits like a pro
9. Devour – Preferably while still warm, with coffee, tea, or a moment of silence for how good they are.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overmixing the dough – This makes biscuits tough. We’re going for tender, not tire rubber.
• Skipping the cold butter – Warm butter = sad, flat biscuits. Keep it chilly.
• Crowding the pan – Give them space to puff up. They’re biscuits, not sardines.
• Forgetting the glaze – Sure, it’s “optional,” but so is joy. Don’t skip it.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• No buttermilk? Mix 3/4 cup milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice. Boom—instant buttermilk.
• Want a lemon twist? Add 1 tsp lemon zest to the dough. Fancy!
• Dairy-free? Use vegan butter and almond milk. Still delicious.
• Gluten-free? Sub a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Texture might differ slightly, but flavor? Still A+.

IMO, the best version is the classic—fresh blueberries, buttery dough, and sweet glaze. But hey, baking’s supposed to be fun, not strict.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Absolutely! Just don’t thaw them first, or you’ll end up with a Smurf-colored dough.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yep! Refrigerate it overnight. Bake fresh in the morning for instant “I’m a morning person” vibes.

What if I don’t have a biscuit cutter?

No problem—use a glass, a jar lid, or just form rustic rounds by hand. Imperfection = charm.

Can I skip the glaze?

You can… but why would you? That drizzle is the mic drop.

How do I store leftovers?

Keep them in an airtight container at room temp for 2 days, or fridge for 5. Reheat gently in the oven for best texture.

Can I freeze them?

Totally. Freeze baked biscuits, thaw, and reheat. Or freeze unbaked dough rounds and bake fresh later. Future you will thank present you.

Are these dessert or breakfast?

Why choose? They’re both. Pair with coffee for breakfast or ice cream for dessert—no judgment here.
