Pro Tips for Perfect Sweet Blueberry Biscuits:

Butter Excellence: Keep your butter ice-cold until the moment you need it, then grate it directly into your flour mixture for the flakiest layers, similar to how we prepare grandma’s biscuits recipe.

Blueberry Brilliance: Coat fresh blueberries lightly with flour before folding them into the dough to prevent them from sinking and bleeding color throughout your biscuits.

Temperature Control: Just like with buttermilk pie, maintaining cold ingredients is crucial for achieving the perfect texture in your biscuits.

Gentle Touch: Handle the dough as little as possible to ensure tender, fluffy biscuits that melt in your mouth.

Make-Ahead Magic: Prepare the dough in advance and freeze unbaked biscuits for fresh-baked goodness anytime.

These Sweet Blueberry Biscuits bring together the best of traditional biscuit-making with a sweet berry twist. The tender, buttery biscuit base provides the perfect foundation for bursts of fresh blueberry flavor, all enhanced by a dreamy vanilla glaze.

Ingredients:

For the Biscuits:

2 cups all-purpose flour + 1 teaspoon (for coating blueberries)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
1 cup buttermilk
⅔ cup fresh blueberries

For the Sweet Vanilla Glaze:

½ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the butter in the freezer for 10 minutes to ensure it’s extra cold. Meanwhile, rinse the blueberries and gently pat them dry, then toss with 1 teaspoon of flour in a small bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Remember to spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife for accurate measurements.
Remove the butter from the freezer and grate it using a cheese grater. Add the grated butter to your dry ingredients, using your fingers to break up any clumps and ensure even distribution throughout the mixture.
Pour the buttermilk into the bowl and stir just until the flour is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix – a light touch ensures tender, flaky biscuits.
Gently fold the flour-coated blueberries into the dough until evenly distributed, being careful not to crush them or overmix the dough.
Using a quarter cup measure, portion out 10 drop biscuits onto your prepared baking sheet, placing them close together for soft sides and better rising. The dough will be slightly sticky – this is normal.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly golden brown on top and cooked through.

The Perfect Finish:

While the biscuits are baking, prepare your vanilla glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over your biscuits just before serving. Remember that warm biscuits will cause the glaze to be more fluid, while cooled biscuits will help it set more firmly.

Storage Solutions:

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days
Keep some glaze reserved to refresh biscuits when serving
Freeze unglazed biscuits for up to 3 months
Reheat individual biscuits in the microwave for 15-20 seconds
For best results, glaze biscuits just before serving

Whether you’re hosting a brunch or simply craving a special breakfast treat, these Sweet Blueberry Biscuits deliver the perfect balance of tender, buttery biscuit and sweet, juicy berries that will have everyone asking for the recipe.
