Description

Delicious Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits are tender, flaky biscuits bursting with fresh blueberries and a hint of lemon zest, perfect for a delightful breakfast or snack. These homemade biscuits feature a buttery crumb and a subtle sweetness, balanced by the tang of buttermilk and aromatic vanilla, making them a comforting treat enjoyed warm with honey butter or cream cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients & Add-ins

  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Melted butter for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help with even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined for a uniform base.
  3. Cut in Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold unsalted butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs; this ensures a flaky biscuit texture.
  4. Add Blueberries and Lemon Zest: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest, spreading them evenly without breaking the berries.
  5. Add Wet Ingredients & Form Dough: Pour in the cold buttermilk and vanilla extract, stirring gently and just enough for the dough to come together; avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
  6. Knead & Shape: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 3-4 times. Then pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round.
  7. Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out 8 biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet with a bit of space between each.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  9. Finish & Serve: Remove biscuits from the oven and brush the tops immediately with melted butter. Allow them to cool slightly before serving to enhance flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, try using cultured buttermilk or substitute with plain yogurt mixed with a splash of milk.
  • Sprinkle a bit of coarse sugar on top before baking for added sweetness and a crunchy texture.
  • Serve warm with honey butter or cream cheese for an indulgent experience.
  • Both fresh and frozen blueberries work; if using frozen, toss them lightly in flour before folding into the dough to prevent color bleeding.
