Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined to ensure a consistent flavor and proper rise.
- Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
- Fold in the Blueberries: Gently toss the fresh blueberries into the crumb mixture, taking care not to break the berries to preserve their shape and juiciness inside the biscuits.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Form Dough: Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract, stirring gently with a spatula until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender and light.
- Shape and Cut Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, fold it over a few times to create layers, then pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Use a biscuit cutter or round glass to cut out individual biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet with slight spacing.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits have risen beautifully.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Use cold butter to ensure the biscuits are flaky and tender.
- Handle the blueberries gently to avoid breaking them and coloring the dough too much.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
- If fresh blueberries are not available, frozen can be used but do not thaw them before mixing to avoid excess moisture.
