What you’ll need

To make these delightful blueberry biscuits, gather the following ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Step-by-step instructions

Ready to bring these blueberry biscuits to life? Just follow these simple steps:

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the milk and stir gently until just combined.
Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly. Pat it into a 1-inch thick round.
Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Enjoy warm, maybe with a smear of butter or a drizzle of honey!

Best ways to enjoy it

These blueberry biscuits shine best when served warm straight from the oven. Consider pairing them with creamy butter, honey, or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat. They also make an ideal accompaniment to a fresh fruit salad or a light, zesty yogurt. For a delightful afternoon tea, serve them alongside a cup of freshly brewed herbal tea.

Keeping leftovers fresh

To store your blueberry biscuits, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Wrap each biscuit individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply thaw at room temperature or pop them in the oven for a quick reheat.

Pro chef tips

For extra flaky biscuits, make sure your butter is very cold. You can even freeze it for about 15 minutes before cutting it into the flour.
If you want a touch of crunch, sprinkle some coarse sugar on top of your biscuits before baking.
Don’t overwork the dough! Folding gently will help keep the biscuits light and airy.

Creative twists

Looking to mix things up? Consider these variations:

Add lemon zest to the dough for a bright flavor boost.
Swap in different berries like raspberries or blackberries.
For a savory option, add crumbled bacon or herbs like rosemary.

Your questions answered

How long does it take to prepare these biscuits?
From start to finish, you can expect about 30 minutes of prep and baking time to have your delicious blueberry biscuits ready.

Can I use frozen blueberries?
Absolutely! Just toss them still frozen into the dough, but be aware they may make the dough a bit more wet.

How do I reheat leftover biscuits?
Simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes or microwave for 15-20 seconds.

Now that you have everything you need to make these scrumptious blueberry biscuits, don’t hold back! Your friends and family are sure to be impressed when they take their first bite. Happy baking!
