You know that feeling when you wake up to a kitchen filled with warm, comforting smells, and you just know today’s gonna be a good day? Well, I remember one Saturday morning in particular—my dog was barking at a squirrel, my kid spilled juice all over his math homework, and I was up to my elbows in flour and blueberries.

I whipped up a batch of blueberry biscuits that turned out to be SO GOOD, they basically rescued the morning chaos. These biscuits are light, fluffy, and dotted with sweet berries—perfect for when you need a little TLC. Trust me, after one bite, you’ll be ME? OBSESSED?

Ingredients Needed

For the Biscuits:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (the backbone of any good biscuit)
• 4 teaspoons baking powder (our trusty leavening buddy)
• 1/3 cup sugar (for a little sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon salt (to balance things out)
• 1 cup cold milk (the magic liquid that ties it all together)
• 5 tablespoons cold or frozen butter (grated or cut into small pieces; keep it cold for flakiness)
• 3 ounces fresh or dried blueberries (gently fold ‘em in for that burst of flavor)

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar (sweet like a hug)
• 1/8 cup water (to get that glaze just right)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (because why not?)
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (a little zing to brighten it all up)

How to Make This Recipe?

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

First, crank your oven up to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will keep your biscuits from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. This is the foundation of your biscuits, so make sure it’s well combined.

Step 3: Butter Makes It Better

Next, grab that cold butter and either grate it or cut it into small pieces. Toss it into the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for those flaky layers we all love.

Step 4: Fold in the Blueberries

Now, gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula. Go easy here! We don’t want to crush the berries and turn our biscuits into a purple mess.

Step 5: It’s Milk Time

Pour the cold milk into the bowl and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Remember, don’t overmix! We want fluffy biscuits, not tough ones.

Step 6: Shape the Biscuits

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it out to about 1-inch thickness and use a round cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out your biscuits. Don’t twist the cutter—it can seal the edges and hinder rising.

Step 7: Bake Away

Place those beautiful biscuits onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them a bit apart. Slide them into your hot oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden-brown. You’ll know they’re ready by that heavenly smell wafting through your kitchen!

Step 8: Make the Glaze

While they’re baking, whip up the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, water, vanilla, and lemon juice until smooth.

Step 9: Glaze and Serve

Let the biscuits cool slightly, then drizzle that sweet glaze generously over them. Serve these bad boys warm and watch everyone dig in!
