Ingredients You’ll Need
Getting these irresistible blueberry biscuits just right comes down to a handful of simple, quality ingredients. Each element plays a crucial role in delivering flavor, texture, and those divine blueberry bursts you’ll adore.
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour: The foundational base that gives your biscuits structure and a perfect crumb; gluten-free flour works well too.
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder: Adds the rise and fluffiness that make biscuits so delightful.
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda: Balances acidity and helps keep biscuits tender.
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt: Enhances all the flavors and balances the sweetness.
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar: Adds just enough sweetness without overpowering the blueberries.
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (cold and cubed): Creates flaky layers and rich flavor.
- 3/4 cup Buttermilk: Keeps the dough moist and tender; homemade substitute works wonders.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract: Adds warmth and depth to the dough’s flavor.
- 1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen): The star of the show, bursting with freshness—coating frozen ones in flour prevents bleeding.
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar: For the delicate glaze that adds a hint of sweetness on top.
- 2-3 tablespoons Milk: Mixed with powdered sugar to create a smooth, drizzle-ready glaze.
How to Make Irresistible Blueberry Biscuits Perfect for Breakfast Bliss Recipe
Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Dry Ingredients
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—it’ll prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed, setting the stage for perfect texture and rise.
Step 2: Cut in the Butter
Next up, add your cold, cubed butter to the dry mix. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. This step is what creates those incredible flaky layers that make these biscuits so irresistible.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients and Combine
In a separate bowl, stir together the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Then pour this liquid into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as keeping the dough a bit lumpy will help your biscuits become tender and light.
Step 4: Fold in the Blueberries
Toss your blueberries in a little flour to prevent them from sinking and bleeding into the dough. Gently fold them in, taking care not to crush the berries—this preserves their shape and bursts of juicy flavor throughout each biscuit.
Step 5: Shape and Cut the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a roughly 1-inch thick rectangle. For extra flakiness, fold the dough over once or twice, then repeat patting it out. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut rounds, and place them evenly spaced on the baking sheet.
Step 6: Bake Until Golden
Bake your biscuits for 14 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. The warmth of the oven will coax the blueberries to soften perfectly inside, while the outside crisps just right for that satisfying bite.
Step 7: Prepare and Drizzle the Glaze
While the biscuits bake, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to create a smooth glaze. Once the biscuits are out of the oven and just slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over each one for a touch of sweet finish that perfectly contrasts with the tart blueberries.
How to Serve Irresistible Blueberry Biscuits Perfect for Breakfast Bliss Recipe
Garnishes
Sprinkle a little extra powdered sugar on top or add a small dollop of whipped cream or clotted cream. A few fresh blueberries on the side can brighten the plate and add a fresh pop of color and flavor.
Side Dishes
These blueberry biscuits pair wonderfully with a simple fruit salad, a cozy cup of hot tea or coffee, or even a savory side like scrambled eggs or bacon if you want a well-rounded breakfast spread.
Creative Ways to Present
Try serving the biscuits as individual breakfast sandwiches with cream cheese or mascarpone and a drizzle of honey. Or create a layered parfait with cut biscuits, yogurt, and blueberries for a fun twist that your guests will love.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Once cooled, keep your blueberry biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. This will maintain their softness and buttery flavor.
Freezing
For longer storage, freeze the unglazed biscuits in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep well for up to three months without losing quality.
Reheating
Reheat frozen or leftover biscuits in a warm oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. Add the glaze fresh after reheating for best flavor and texture.
FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries in this Irresistible Blueberry Biscuits Perfect for Breakfast Bliss Recipe?
Absolutely! Just toss the frozen blueberries in a bit of flour before folding them into the dough to prevent the color from bleeding into the batter.

Yes, you can easily make a buttermilk substitute by mixing 3/4 cup milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice and letting it sit for about 5 minutes.
