Home Made Blueberry Biscuits
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Additional sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, trying not to crush them.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk and vanilla extract.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the milk mixture into the well. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
- Pat the dough into a rectangle or circle, about 1 inch thick.
- Use a floured biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- If desired, sprinkle a small amount of sugar on top of each biscuit for a sweet crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Allow the blueberry biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving.
