Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well combined and no lumps remain.
- Add the 1/2 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold in the 1 cup of blueberries, being careful not to crush them. If using frozen blueberries, there is no need to thaw them; just add them straight from the freezer.
- Pour in the 3/4 cup of milk and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough. The dough should be slightly sticky.
- Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop generous portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You should have about 12 biscuits.
- For a nice golden finish, you can brush the tops of the biscuits with a little extra milk or melted butter before baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve the sweet blueberry drop biscuits warm, either plain or with a pat of butter. Enjoy!
Tips
- Perfectly Measure Your Flour: To avoid dense biscuits, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife instead of scooping directly from the bag.
- Keep the Butter Cold: Ensure your butter is very cold before cutting it into the flour mixture. This helps create flaky layers in your biscuits.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits—aim for a slightly sticky dough.
- Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Both fresh and frozen blueberries work well in this recipe. If using frozen, there's no need to thaw them; just toss them directly into the dough for a burst of flavor.
- Brush for a Golden Finish: For a beautiful golden color, brush the tops of the biscuits with a little milk or melted butter before baking.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on the biscuits while baking. They should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Serve Warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven, with a pat of butter or your favorite jam.
