Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk until well combined.
Cut in Butter
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Milk and Blueberries
Pour in the milk and gently fold in the blueberries until just combined. Do not overmix.
Shape and Bake
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Storage Tips
To keep your blueberry biscuits fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed within a couple of days but can last up to a week. If you want to extend their shelf life, consider freezing them. Simply place the cooled biscuits in a freezer-safe bag, and they can be stored for up to three months.
When you're ready to enjoy them again, thaw at room temperature or pop them in the oven for a few minutes to warm them up. This will help regain their fluffy texture and delightful aroma.
Serving Suggestions
These blueberry biscuits are incredibly versatile when it comes to serving options. Serve them warm with a pat of butter, or for a more decadent treat, try them with clotted cream or whipped cream. A sprinkle of powdered sugar on top can elevate their appearance, making them suitable for special occasions.
For a breakfast twist, you can also create a breakfast sandwich by adding scrambled eggs and bacon between two biscuits. This adds a savory element to your morning meal, balancing the sweetness of the blueberries.
