SWEET BLUEBERRY BISCUITS

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 2 to 3 cups of all-purpose flour
  • - 1 to 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar
  • - 1 to 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • - 1 to 1 ⅔ cups of full-fat buttermilk]
  • - 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries
  • - Cold butter

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them. Frozen blueberries added to the dough can help prevent juice oozing during baking.
  • Pour in the buttermilk gradually, mixing just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until smooth. Pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
  • Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds from the dough. Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for a golden finish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown on top.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with glaze or top with honey butter if desired.
  • Extra Tips:
  • For the best results, use cold buttermilk and butter straight from the refrigerator. This will help create that flaky texture that's characteristic of a good biscuit.
  • Additionally, if you want to experiment with flavors, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough for a revitalizing twist.
  • When drizzling glaze, adjust the consistency to your liking, as a thicker glaze will stay on top while a thinner one will soak into the biscuits.
