Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, if fresh are not available)
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional, for added flavor)

For Finishing:

  • 1 tablespoon milk (for brushing on top)
  • Additional sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the biscuits evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to overmix to prevent them from breaking apart.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, if using, to create the wet mixture.
  6. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; the dough will be slightly sticky.
  7. Flour Your Surface: Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it for shaping.
  8. Knead the Dough: Gently knead the dough about 5-6 times, folding it to bring it all together without overworking it.
  9. Roll Out the Dough: Roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness, adding more flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
  10. Cut the Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut rounds from the dough, then place them onto a greased or parchment-lined skillet.
  11. Brush with Milk: Brush the tops of each biscuit with milk and sprinkle with additional sugar if you desire extra sweetness and a slight crunch on top.
  12. Bake the Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the biscuits turn golden brown on top and edges.
  13. Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a biscuit; if it comes out clean, the biscuits are fully baked.
  14. Cool Slightly: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the biscuits cool for about 5 minutes to set.
  15. Serve Warm: Serve the biscuits warm, optionally with butter, honey, maple syrup, or whipped cream for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use cold butter and avoid overmixing the dough to ensure flaky biscuits.
  • You can substitute blueberries with other berries or add nuts for different variations.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before mixing to prevent bleeding.
  • Brushing with milk and sprinkling sugar on top adds a beautiful golden crust with a touch of sweetness.
