Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup buttermilk (plus more for brushing tops)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
  • Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling

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 cold cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Pour in buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  6. Shape biscuits: Turn dough onto a floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out rounds. Re-roll scraps as needed.
  7. Bake: Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  8. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and fluffy.
  9. Cool slightly and enjoy warm with butter, honey, or lemon glaze!
