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!
