Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- Add cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
- Gently fold in fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Pour in buttermilk and stir with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Using a
- 5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are almost touching for soft sides.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and edges are crisp.
- While biscuits are baking, prepare the vanilla buttercream by beating softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Remove biscuits from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes.
- Once cooled, spread or pipe vanilla buttercream on top of each biscuit.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
Tips
- Chill Your Ingredients: For the flakiest biscuits, ensure your butter is very cold. You can even chill the flour for a few minutes before starting to mix.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the buttermilk with the dry ingredients, mix just until the dough comes together. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.
- Use Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries provide the best flavor and texture. If you must use frozen, do not thaw them beforehand to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
- Cut Biscuits Close Together: When cutting out your biscuits, place them close together on the baking sheet. This helps them rise higher and creates soft sides.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your biscuits as they bake. They should be golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
- Customize the Frosting: Feel free to experiment with the vanilla buttercream by adding lemon zest or a splash of almond extract for a unique twist.
- Serve Warm: For the best experience, serve your biscuits warm right after frosting. They are at their most delicious when fresh out of the oven!
