Sweet Blueberry Biscuits: Fluffy, Melt-In-Your-Mouth Perfection

by

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat your oven to 450°F (≈232°C). A very hot oven helps biscuits rise quickly and develop a nice crust. (Several biscuit recipes use temps between 425‑450°F for this reason.) Baker Bettie+2tasteofhome.com+2

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.

  3. Cut in the Butter
    Make sure your butter is very cold. Scatter the chunks evenly over the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (pea-sized pieces of butter are good). Cold butter gives that flaky texture. Baker Bettie+1

  4. Add Blueberries and Milk
    Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them. Then pour in your cold milk (or buttermilk), and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix. Stir until there are no big dry patches. Overworking will make biscuits tough. Humble Oven+2Loyal+2

    • If using frozen blueberries, toss them in some flour first to reduce bleeding. Loyal+1

  5. Shape the Biscuits
    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently flatten or roll (don’t stretch) to about ¼‑½ inch thick, depending on how tall you want the biscuits. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass (press straight down, avoid twisting) to cut them. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart or touching depending on the texture you prefer (touching gives softer sides; spaced gives crisper edges). Humble Oven+2Chelsey Gray+2

  6. Bake
    Bake for 10‑12 minutes until golden on top. Check the bottoms and interiors; if still doughy, bake a bit longer. Some recipes start at a high temp (425‑450°F) then reduce during baking to avoid overbrowning while ensuring full bake. Chelsey Gray+2tasteofhome.com+2

    Optionally, brush the tops with a little melted butter right as they come out (or a couple of minutes before finishing) for added color and richness. Humble Oven+1

  7. Cool & Serve
    Let biscuits cool slightly (about 5 minutes) on a rack. Serve warm. Great with butter, honey, jam, or a light glaze (e.g. confectioners’ sugar + milk or lemon juice). tasteofhome.com+1
