Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Topping
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Cut in butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, mix the buttermilk and vanilla extract together thoroughly.
- Mix dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until everything comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
- Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries, being gentle to avoid crushing them and turning the dough purple.
- Shape biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle or circle.
- Cut biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out 8 biscuits from the dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet spaced slightly apart.
- Add topping: If desired, sprinkle the tops of the biscuits with coarse sugar for a sweet, crunchy finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm. Enjoy with butter, jam, or honey for extra flavor.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough.
- Serve warm with butter, jam, or honey.
- Frozen blueberries can be used without thawing to keep the dough from turning purple.
