Fluffy, buttery, and bursting with juicy blueberries, these homemade biscuits are the perfect breakfast treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk plus 1 tablespoon vinegar)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Extra sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture and blend until resembling coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract, if using.
- Gently stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- Fold in the blueberries gently, being careful not to break them.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently bring it together, patting it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Cut the dough into squares or rounds and place close together on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle a bit of extra sugar on top of each biscuit, if desired.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
