How to Make

Quick Overview

These Quick Blueberry Biscuits are proof that delicious doesn’t have to mean complicated. Using Bisquick as a base speeds up the process without sacrificing flavor. The recipe comes together in about 20 minutes from start to finish, making it perfect for busy mornings, spontaneous brunches, or last-minute snack attacks. You’ll love how the biscuits bake up golden, fluffy, and filled with juicy blueberries—all finished off with a sweet, creamy glaze.

Ingredients

2 cups Bisquick mix
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick mix and sugar. Stir gently to mix evenly.
Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until everything is moistened. Be careful not to overmix—your biscuits will be lighter and fluffier!
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. You don’t want to squish them, so use a light hand.
Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. You should get 8-10 biscuits, depending on size.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the kitchen smells amazing.
While the biscuits are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Start with 1 tablespoon of milk and add more if needed, until the glaze is smooth but pourable.
Once out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits so it melts right into all those nooks and crannies.
Enjoy these biscuits warm, preferably with family or friends!

What to Serve With

These tender, fruity biscuits are amazing on their own, but they pair beautifully with a variety of dishes. Try serving them alongside a hearty breakfast of scrambled eggs and crispy bacon for a sweet contrast. For a brunch spread, a fresh fruit salad and a strong cup of coffee or cold brew create a lovely balance. If you want to go all out, serve them with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla yogurt for a decadent treat. These biscuits also make a charming addition to afternoon tea or as a quick dessert after dinner.

Top Tips for Perfecting

For the best results, use very cold buttermilk straight from the fridge—this helps keep your biscuits light and tender. Don’t overmix the dough; stir until just combined to avoid tough biscuits. If fresh blueberries aren’t available, frozen ones work too—just add them straight from the freezer to prevent extra juice from seeping into the dough. Feel free to substitute the glaze with honey or a flavored icing if you prefer. Watch your baking time closely; these biscuits brown quickly, and you don’t want to overbake them. Keep your dough mounds rustic—imperfections make every biscuit unique!

Storing and Reheating Tips

Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for about 15 seconds or warm them in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 5 minutes until heated through. If you want to freeze them, wrap each biscuit individually in plastic wrap, then store in a freezer-safe bag for up to two months. When ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature and re-warm in the oven to restore their soft, fresh texture.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen blueberries work well! Just add them straight from the freezer and don’t thaw first—they’ll bleed less and keep your dough from turning blue.

What if I don’t have buttermilk?
No buttermilk? No problem! Mix 2/3 cup regular milk with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then use as directed.

Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Absolutely! Bake and cool the biscuits, then store tightly wrapped. Glaze them just before serving for the freshest taste.

Are these biscuits suitable for freezing?
Yes, these biscuits freeze beautifully. Wrap and freeze without the glaze, then thaw and warm before glazing when ready to eat.

Can I add other berries or mix-ins?
Definitely! Try raspberries, blackberries, or even chocolate chips for a fun twist on the classic.
