Why You’ll Love This Blueberry Biscuits Recipe

You’ll love how quickly these come together, with no fancy equipment or rare ingredients required. They’re soft and fluffy, bursting with fresh or frozen blueberries, and the golden crust is irresistible. Plus, they’re versatile enough to serve at brunches, holiday tables, or as an afternoon snack. The optional vanilla glaze turns them into a bakery-worthy treat with minimal effort.

What Kind of Blueberries Should I Use?

Fresh blueberries are always a great choice because they hold their shape well and offer a juicy pop. But if fresh berries aren’t in season, frozen blueberries work just as well. Just be sure not to thaw them before mixing into the dough to avoid excess moisture and streaky batter. Whichever you use, make sure they’re evenly distributed for that perfect blueberry burst in every bite.

Ingredients for the Blueberry Biscuits

These biscuits are all about simple, pantry-friendly ingredients coming together to create something amazing. Each one plays a role in making the final result soft, flavorful, and packed with blueberries. If you bake often, you likely have most of these already in your kitchen.

• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Granulated sugar
• Salt
• Unsalted butter
• Cold buttermilk
• Fresh or frozen blueberries
• Vanilla extract (optional, for glaze)
• Powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
• Milk or cream (optional, for glaze)

The flour forms the base of your dough, while the baking powder gives lift. Sugar adds a touch of sweetness that complements the berries. Salt balances the flavor, and the cold butter is key to that tender, flaky texture. Buttermilk keeps everything moist and tangy. Blueberries, of course, are the star—bringing freshness and a pop of color. The optional glaze is just the right finishing touch if you like a sweet drizzle.

How To Make the Blueberry Biscuits

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This helps the biscuits bake evenly and prevents sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. This ensures everything is evenly distributed before adding the butter.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mix. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The bits of butter should be about the size of peas.

Step 4: Add Buttermilk and Blueberries

Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Fold in the blueberries carefully so they don’t burst too much.

Step 5: Shape and Cut

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently press it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a round cutter or glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll scraps as needed.

Step 6: Bake

Place the biscuits on your prepared baking sheet, slightly touching for softer sides or spaced apart for crispier edges. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Step 7: Optional Glaze

While the biscuits cool slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, a splash of milk or cream, and a few drops of vanilla extract. Drizzle over warm biscuits and let set before serving.

How to Serve and Store Blueberry Biscuits

These Blueberry Biscuits are best served warm, straight from the oven, when they’re still soft and bursting with juicy berries. If you’re hosting a brunch or breakfast gathering, stack them up on a rustic platter and serve with butter, honey, or clotted cream. For a sweet finish, that vanilla glaze adds a polished touch. They’re a hit with kids and adults alike, and the recipe yields about 8 to 10 biscuits depending on the size of your cutter.

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate for up to five days. For best results when reheating, pop them in a warm oven for 5 to 7 minutes to revive the texture without drying them out.
