Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Optional: Coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut in butter: Add the cold cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add liquids: Stir in buttermilk and vanilla extract (if using) until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in blueberries gently to avoid breaking them.
  6. Shape biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or form rustic rounds by hand.
  7. Arrange on baking sheet with a little space between them. Brush the tops with buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  8. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool slightly before serving. Delicious warm with butter or a drizzle of honey!
