Let’s Make it Together
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; this prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined. This step sets the stage for fluffy biscuits.
Add Butter: Cut cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until crumbly—think sandy beach vibes.
Add Milk & Vanilla: Pour in whole milk and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing for tender biscuits.
Add Blueberries: Fold in fresh blueberries delicately so they don’t burst—this will keep your dough looking beautiful and colorful.
Scoop & Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheet; leave space between each biscuit for expansion. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown—your kitchen will smell heavenly!
Enjoy these blueberry biscuits warm from the oven with butter or jam. Perfect alongside coffee or tea!
Now go ahead and treat yourself; you deserve every flaky bite!
