layout for Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, don’t thaw)
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in Butter
    Add cold butter cubes to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into pea-sized crumbs.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients
    Pour in buttermilk and vanilla extract. Gently stir until dough begins to come together.
  5. Fold in Blueberries
    Carefully fold blueberries into the dough, trying not to crush them.
  6. Shape the Dough
    Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Fold it over itself once or twice for extra flakiness, then gently pat back into shape.
  7. Cut Biscuits
    Use a biscuit cutter or round glass to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake
    Brush tops with buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar (if using). Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Cool & Serve
    Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or lemon glaze.

If you’d like, I can also give you a lemon glaze drizzle to make them bakery-style. That would make these biscuits even more special.
