How to Make Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits
-
Preheat & Prep
Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a cast iron skillet for crispy edges. -
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined. -
Cut in the Butter
Add cold butter cubes and cut into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. -
Add Buttermilk & Vanilla
Pour in cold buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir gently with a fork just until combined—don’t overmix. -
Add the Blueberries
Gently fold in blueberries with a spatula. Handle the dough lightly to keep biscuits tender and berries whole. -
Shape the Biscuits
Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Pat into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut into squares or use a round cutter. -
Bake
Transfer biscuits to baking sheet. Brush with extra buttermilk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
Optional Lemon Glaze (Sweet Finish)

FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes! Just don’t thaw them—fold in while still frozen to avoid purple streaking.
Can I make these vegan?
Use vegan butter + oat milk with vinegar instead of buttermilk. The texture stays fluffy!
Why are my biscuits flat?
Butter wasn’t cold enough, or you overmixed the dough. Keep butter very cold and handle lightly.
