Simple Blueberry Biscuits with Buttermilk

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until combined.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them up too much.
6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
7. Cut the dough into circles using a biscuit cutter or a glass, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Brush the tops with milk for a golden finish.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.
10. Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Chef’s Tips

• For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the buttermilk mixture.
• If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the dough.
• For a sweeter biscuit, consider sprinkling a little extra sugar on top before baking.
