Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus more if needed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pea-sized pieces.
- Add Vanilla and Buttermilk: Stir in the vanilla extract and buttermilk gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, toss them with a tablespoon of flour to prevent color bleeding. Gently fold the blueberries into the dough, keeping them as intact as possible.
- Shape the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Use a biscuit cutter or an appropriately sized glass to cut out biscuit rounds.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the biscuit rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse sugar on top if desired for a sweet, crunchy finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Serve warm with honey butter, clotted cream, or lemon glaze for extra flavor.
- Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Biscuits can be frozen and reheated for later consumption without losing quality.
