Ingredients
For the Biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
For the Vanilla Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, then gently mix until the dough just comes together. Fold in the blueberries carefully so they don’t burst too much.
Step 2: Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a thick rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Cut using a biscuit cutter or glass and place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Gather scraps and repeat until all dough is used.
Step 3: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and the biscuits are fluffy.
Let them cool slightly before glazing.
Step 4: Make the Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm biscuits.
Tips for Perfect Blueberry Biscuits
- Keep the butter very cold for extra flaky layers.
- Frozen blueberries work great — don’t thaw them first.
- For richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
- Add a little lemon zest for a bright citrus twist.
