🧾 Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup (113g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
Optional Glaze (for a sweet finish):
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk or lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
🧑🍳 Instructions & Method
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Sugar
- Salt
3. Cut in the Butter
Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter.
4. Add the Buttermilk
Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix — it’s okay if it’s a bit shaggy.
5. Add Blueberries
Carefully fold in the blueberries, being gentle to avoid crushing them. Use a light touch.
6. Form the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently pat into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Fold it over once or twice to create layers. Pat again and cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter or into squares with a knife.
7. Bake
Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, slightly touching for soft sides or spaced apart for crisp edges. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown on top.
8. Optional Glaze
While warm, drizzle with glaze made from powdered sugar, milk or lemon juice, and a splash of vanilla.
🕰️ History & Formation
Biscuits have been a staple of Southern American cuisine for centuries, evolving from British scones brought by colonists. The addition of fruit, particularly blueberries — native to North America — gives this biscuit a uniquely American twist. As refrigeration and modern baking techniques developed, butter-based biscuits replaced lard or shortening, leading to today’s fluffy, golden standard.
The formation of a perfect biscuit lies in the cold butter, minimal handling, and quick baking at high heat. These three rules ensure lift, flakiness, and that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
