Ingredients

For the biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons cold or frozen butter, cubed
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 3 ounces blueberries (fresh or dried; if dried, soak in warm water 10 min and drain)

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ⅛ cup water (2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice (fresh is best!)

Method: Biscuit Formation with Love

Step 1: Prep the dough

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or two forks until the mix looks like coarse crumbs with small buttery pebbles.
  3. Stir in the cold milk gently — do not overmix. Fold in the blueberries with care (they’re delicate!).

Step 2: Shape and bake

  1. Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Pat it into a ¾-inch thick rectangle.
  2. Use a biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut into rounds. Gently press scraps together to avoid overworking.
  3. Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, close but not touching.
  4. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12–15 minutes, until golden on the top and bottom.

Step 3: Glaze them up

  1. While the biscuits bake, whisk together powdered sugar, water, vanilla, and lemon juice.
  2. When the biscuits are hot from the oven, drizzle glaze generously over the tops. Let it melt and mingle.

The Story Behind the Biscuit

These sweet blueberry biscuits trace their roots to Appalachian traditions and Southern biscuit culture. What sets them apart is the sugar-glaze finish — a nod to Sunday breakfasts and diner delights. The idea of adding fruit to biscuits isn’t new, but blueberries were the sweetheart of early American cooks who foraged or picked them fresh from wild bushes.

This specific recipe has gained a cult following on family blogs and bake sales — a mix of homemade warmth and indulgent charm.

Formation Secrets

💡 Cold butter is your best friend. Keep it chilled or frozen to achieve those flaky, tender layers.

💡 Don’t overmix. The dough should be just barely combined to keep the biscuits light and airy.

💡 Fresh vs. dried blueberries? Fresh gives bursts of juice, while dried offers chewy sweetness. Both are wonderful.

For the Lovers of Blueberry Biscuits…

These biscuits are made for lovers of:

  • Lazy Sunday mornings
  • Cozy rainy days
  • Sweet-but-not-too-sweet treats
  • Sharing something homemade with people you love

Pair with hot coffee, chamomile tea, or a glass of cold milk. Or enjoy them solo, straight off the tray — we won’t judge.

Conclusion

Sweet Blueberry Biscuits aren’t just a recipe — they’re a gesture. They whisper comfort and hum nostalgia. They bake joy into your morning and turn kitchens into memory-making places. So make them big, make them warm, and make them often.

And if you share them with someone you love, well — that’s the icing on the biscuit. 💙
