Storage and Serving Suggestions

These blueberry biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. However, if you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To keep them fresh longer, consider freezing them. Simply place the cooled biscuits in a freezer bag, and they will last for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy them, just heat them in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

For serving, consider adding a side of yogurt or a fruit compote to complement the blueberry flavor. These biscuits also make for a delightful brunch item when served with assorted jams and spreads, allowing your guests to customize their experience!

Ingredients

For the Biscuits

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup fresh blueberries

Make sure to use fresh blueberries for the best flavor!

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Incorporate Butter

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Buttermilk and Blueberries

Pour in the buttermilk and gently fold in the blueberries until just combined. Do not overmix.

Shape the Biscuits

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Serve warm.

Tips for the Best Blueberry Biscuits

To achieve the perfect texture, make sure your butter is cold when mixing it with the dry ingredients. This helps create those flaky layers that everyone loves in a biscuit. Additionally, avoid overmixing once you add the buttermilk and blueberries; a few lumps are okay, and this will help keep your biscuits light and fluffy.

If fresh blueberries are not available, you can substitute with frozen ones. Just be sure not to thaw them before adding to the dough, as this can cause the biscuits to become too wet.

Health Benefits of Blueberries

Blueberries are often referred to as a superfood, and for good reason! They are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, which can contribute to overall health. Regular consumption of blueberries has been linked to improved heart health, better brain function, and decreased inflammation in the body.

Incorporating blueberries into your diet through these delicious biscuits is an easy way to enjoy their health benefits. Plus, their natural sweetness means you can use less sugar in your recipes, making them a healthier option for your baking.
