How to Make Blueberry Biscuits

Quick Overview

Blueberry Biscuits are the definition of easy and delicious! With just about 30 minutes from start to finish, you get rich, fluffy biscuits filled with fruity goodness.

A tangy-sweet lemon glaze finishes these biscuits off with bakery-style flair. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a total beginner, you’ll be amazed at how quickly these delightful biscuits come together.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk, cold
1/3 cup sugar
5 tablespoons butter, cold or frozen
1 teaspoon salt
3 ounces blueberries, fresh or dried
For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1/8 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Step-by-Step

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Grate or cut the cold (or frozen) butter into small pieces. Add it to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter in until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Pour in the cold milk and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix, or your biscuits won’t be as fluffy.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it out to about 1-inch thickness, then cut out biscuits using a round cutter or the rim of a glass.
Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden-brown.
While the biscuits are baking, make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.
Let the biscuits cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze generously over the warm biscuits. Serve fresh and enjoy!

What to Serve Blueberry Biscuits With

Blueberry Biscuits are wonderfully versatile! Enjoy them warm from the oven as a breakfast treat with a mug of coffee or tea. Pair them with fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, or a fresh fruit salad for the ultimate brunch combination. For a sweet afternoon snack, serve with lemonade or an iced latte. Feeling extra indulgent? Add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dreamy dessert. However you choose, these biscuits are sure to brighten any table.

Top Tips for Perfecting Blueberry Biscuits

Always use cold butter and milk for the flakiest texture; chilling the dough before baking is a pro move!
If you don’t have fresh blueberries, dried or frozen blueberries work great—just toss frozen berries in a bit of flour to prevent bleeding.
Be gentle when mixing and shaping the dough. Overworking it leads to tough biscuits.
For a dairy-free version, substitute plant-based butter and your favorite non-dairy milk.
Don’t skip the glaze! It adds a vibrant, tangy finish that really makes these biscuits shine.
Trouble with flat biscuits? Make sure your baking powder is fresh and handle the dough minimally.

Storing and Reheating Tips

To keep your Blueberry Biscuits fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. To freeze, wrap individual biscuits tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag; they’ll keep for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, reheat biscuits in a 300°F oven for 8-10 minutes or microwave them in 10-second bursts until just warm. For a freshly made feel, add a touch more glaze after reheating.

FAQs

How do I prevent my biscuits from becoming dense?
Don’t overmix the dough, and be sure your baking powder is fresh. Cold ingredients also help!

Can I use frozen blueberries?
Absolutely! Add them straight from the freezer and lightly toss in flour to keep from staining the dough.

What if I don’t have lemon juice for the glaze?
You can substitute with orange juice or omit it, but a citrusy zing really brightens up the biscuits.

Can I make these biscuits vegan?
Yes! Use plant-based butter and your favorite dairy-free milk for delicious vegan blueberry biscuits.

Why did my biscuits spread instead of rising?
Warm butter or overmixing the dough can cause biscuits to spread. Chill the shaped biscuits briefly before baking to help them hold their shape.
