Ingredients You Need To Make This Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup blueberries
2 cups flour
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup salted butter, cold
1 cup buttermilk

Topping/Glaze:

¼ cup of butter (melted)
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons lemon juice

How to Make BoBerry Biscuits

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

2. Use a paper towel to remove any excess moisture from the blueberries. Toss the blueberries with 2 teaspoons of flour.

3. Combine the rest of the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

4. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter. There may still be pea size chunks visible in the dough.

5. Stir in the buttermilk until barely combined.

6. On a well floured surface, roll out the dough to a rectangle shape about ½ inch thick and lightly press 3/4ths of blueberries evenly throughout the dough.

7. Mentally divide the rectangle into 3 equal pieces. Fold the right third over the center. Then fold the left third over the center. (This is like folding a letter.) Now you have a stack 3 slabs high. (If you find it easier to cut 3 equal pieces, that’s fine. Just stack up the 3 equal pieces.) Then carefully roll out the dough to ½ inch thick again. (This is going to help the layers puff up.)

8. Carefully Cut out five to six biscuits with a 3 inch cutter. Try to handle the dough as little as possible, so that the butter stays cold but you will need to reshape and roll out the dough again to cut out 4-5 more biscuits.

9. Put the biscuits about an inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet, then push a few of the remaining blueberries into the top of each biscuit.

10. Bake for about 7 minutes, then take the biscuits out and generously brush with melted butter. Return them to the oven and bake for 3 more minutes or until golden.

11. While the biscuits are baking, make the glaze. Stir together the powdered sugar, milk, and lemon juice until smooth.

12. When you remove the biscuits from the oven, allow them to cool slightly and then drizzle with the glaze.

These are best served warm!

Storage

Store your leftover biscuits in an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for two days. In the refrigerator, they can be kept for up to a week.

Tips

Butter up: Refrigerate the biscuits for 10-15 minutes before baking. Putting your dough in the fridge helps to firm the butter, preventing your biscuits from spreading.
Cool Down: Allow the blueberry biscuits to cool before drizzling it with the lemon glaze; otherwise, it will simply run off.
No Oven: Air fryer works with this recipe too! Place the dough in an air fryer basket and bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Genlty Roll: It’s important to roll out your dough gently each time! You want to keep as many whole berries as possible!

Substitutions and Variations

Strawberry Sandwich: Strawberries should be sliced and sandwiched between two Bo Berry Biscuits. Then drizzle the lemon glaze.
Cream Cheese Frosting: Using an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese and 1/2 cup butter until smooth and creamy. In the same bowl, combine the sugar, cream, and vanilla extract and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Chocoholic: If you are a chocolate lover, you can incorporate some chocolate chips into the Bo berry biscuit batter before it is baked.
