Ingredients You’ll Need

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Cold Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

  • ¾ cup cold buttermilk (plus extra for brushing)

Fruits & Flavoring:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (unthawed if frozen)

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Topping (optional):

  • Turbinado sugar for crunch

  • Light lemon glaze (see below)

How to Make Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits

  1. 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.

  2. Combine Dry Ingredients
    In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.

  3. 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.

  4. Add Buttermilk & Vanilla
    Pour in cold buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir gently with a fork just until combined—don’t overmix.

  5. Add the Blueberries
    Gently fold in blueberries with a spatula. Handle the dough lightly to keep biscuits tender and berries whole.

  6. 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.

  7. 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)

Want to dress them up? Mix:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Drizzle over warm biscuits for a sweet-tart balance that pairs beautifully with blueberries.

Serving Ideas

  • Serve with whipped butter or clotted cream

  • Pair with lemon curd or berry jam

  • Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee, latte, or English breakfast tea

  • Turn leftovers into shortcakes by slicing and adding cream + more berries

Tips & Variations

  • Don’t overwork the dough—this keeps biscuits flaky

  • Use frozen blueberries directly from freezer to prevent bleeding into dough

  • Want it dairy-free? Sub with plant-based butter and almond milk + vinegar

  • Add zest from 1 lemon to brighten flavor even more

Storage & Reheating

  • Room Temp: Airtight container up to 2 days

  • Fridge: Up to 5 days (reheat before serving)

  • Freeze: Up to 2 months—wrap tightly and store in zip bags

To Reheat:
Warm in a toaster oven or air fryer at 325°F (160°C) for 5–7 minutes until just crisp.

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.
