Blueberry Biscuits
Ingredients:
Ingredients Quantity
All-purpose flour 2 cups, plus more for dusting
Baking powder 1 tablespoon
Granulated sugar 1/4 cup
Salt 1/2 teaspoon
Unsalted butter 1/2 cup, cold and cut into small pieces
Whole milk 3/4 cup, cold
Fresh blueberries 1 cup
Heavy cream 2 tablespoons, for brushing
Extra sugar For sprinkling, optional
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Incorporate Butter: Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Milk: Gradually pour in the cold whole milk, stirring just until the dough comes together. Be cautious not to overmix, as this can result in tough biscuits.
Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them as you mix.
Shape the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and knead it lightly just a few times until it holds together.
Cut Out Biscuits: Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick round, then use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush with Cream: Brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream for a golden finish. For added sweetness, sprinkle with a bit of extra sugar if desired.
Bake to Perfection: Bake the biscuits for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Serve and Enjoy: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Pair them with your favorite jam or enjoy them as is for a delightful treat.
