Why You'll Love these Blueberry Biscuits

• The blueberries. There’s nothing comparable to a baked, juicy and bursting blueberry nestled into a buttery biscuit… or hot pancake or a sweet muffin… Anyway, you’ll love how perfectly the blueberries pair with biscuit dough.
• Crisp edges, soft and fluffy inside. Think of the top part of a muffin — with browned edges with a slight crisp, yet moist and fluffy inside. Basically the best part of a muffin. Well these drop biscuits are basically muffin tops baked on their own.
• They’re so easy to make. These blueberry biscuits are ready in just under 25 minutes, and the recipe contains three simple steps. You’ll make the batter by adding the wet ingredients to the dry ones, then combining and folding in the blueberries. Finally, you’ll bake the biscuits for 15 minutes and enjoy!

Ingredient Notes

To make these easy Blueberry Biscuits, you will need the following ingredients (full measurements in recipe card below):

• blueberries - we used fresh blueberries as it’s in season right now. But you can make this recipe easily with frozen blueberries as well and enjoy them any time of the year.
• all-purpose flour
• granulated sugar - you can substitute with brown sugar if desired.
• baking soda + powder
• salt
• butter - you’ll need to use cold butter cut into ½ inch cubes. I recommend cutting the butter and then placing back in the fridge until ready to use in the recipe.
• yogurt - this is what keeps the biscuits moist. We always have a batch of our homemade yogurt on hand. It’s easy to make at home if you want to give it a try.
• egg
• vanilla extract

How to Make the Best Blueberry Biscuits

1. Combine dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cold butter. Stir well and mix the butter into the flour using pastry cutter or fork until the mixture becomes breadcrumb-like.
2. Add wet ingredients. Add yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula to mix together until just combined, and no dry flour particles are visible. Fold in the blueberries.

3. Scoop biscuits. Line two large half sheet baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Use a medium cookie scoop (ice cream scoop) to scoop the batter and place on the lined baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart because they will spread during baking. You will be able to fit 6 biscuits on one half sheet baking pan, so you will have to use either two baking sheets or cook in batches.
4. Bake. Bake in a 400F preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the tops turn golden brown. Allow the biscuits to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool another 5-10 minutes and serve.
