Servings 12 or 6 large
Ingredients
Biscuits
- 1 cup diced cold butter 2 sticks
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 cup milk + 2 tablespoons
- 1 cup dry blueberries
Vanilla glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla
- lemon zest *OPTIONAL*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Dice the butter into small cubes. Place on parchment paper (this will make it easier to release the butter once cooled) line the plate and freeze for 10 minutes.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the cooled butter to the dry mixture. Using 2 forks mix until the butter is coated in flour and crumble into pieces.
- Add in the milk. Mix well.
- Add in the dry blueberries and knead until the blueberries are incorporated throughout the dough.
- Place the dough on a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle 6 x 10 inches and 1 inch thick.
- Cut into 6 pieces.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
- OPTIONAL Brush egg wash (beat 1 egg + 1 tablespoon ) on each unbaked biscuit.
- Bake for 20-23 minutes or until the biscuits are golden.
- Allow the baked biscuits to cool off on the cookie sheet for 4-5 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- While the biscuits are cooling, make the glaze.
Notes
BAKER’S NOTES:
I used dried blueberries. You can use fresh blueberries. If using fresh blueberries, I would add them before the milk.
I wouldn’t recommend using frozen blueberries, as they contain more moisture and will leak, turning the batter purple.
Instead of the egg wash, you can bake the biscuits and brush some melted butter as soon as they are out of the oven.
Storage: You can keep the blueberry biscuits for 3-4 days. You can freeze them.
Re-warm: Place your portion of the blueberry biscuits in an air fryer basket. Rewarm at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes or until it is warm enough to your liking. If the biscuits are frozen, thaw them in the fridge overnight
Variations:
- Add different dried fruits (strawberries, pineapple,...)
- Use different glazes (vanilla, almond, lemon, white chocolate,...)
