Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar to evenly distribute these key components for the biscuit base.
- Incorporate Butter: Add the cold cubed unsalted butter to the dry mix. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring flaky texture.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them, so they remain whole and juicy inside the biscuits.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract thoroughly. Pour this wet mixture into the flour and butter mix and stir until just combined to avoid overmixing that can toughen biscuits.
- Shape Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle, preparing it for cutting.
- Cut Biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather scraps, reshape the dough, and cut more biscuits to maximize the batch.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter to promote browning and add flavor during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until biscuits are lightly golden on top and cooked through in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let biscuits cool slightly before serving warm for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- For a sweeter touch, sprinkle a little sugar on top of each biscuit before baking to add a delicate crunch and extra sweetness.
- You can substitute frozen blueberries; just add them straight from frozen to avoid crushing and excess moisture in the dough.
- Serve these biscuits with honey or clotted cream for an indulgent and comforting treat.
