Biscuits with Juicy Blueberries
Ingredients
All-purpose flour – 2 cups
Granulated sugar – ¼ cup
Baking powder – 1 tablespoon
Baking soda – ½ teaspoon
Salt – ½ teaspoon
Unsalted butter – ½ cup, chilled and cubed
Fresh blueberries – 1 cup
Buttermilk – ¾ cup (or milk mixed with 1 tablespoon white vinegar)
Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon, pure
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Set the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cut in the butter
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture.
Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
4. Add the blueberries
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
5. Make the dough
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk and vanilla.
Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough comes together.
6. Shape and cut
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Cut into 12 biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife.
7. Bake
Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
For extra flavor, brush the tops with melted butter if desired.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Cool and serve
Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Enjoy warm!
