What Kind of Blueberries Should I Use?

You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe. Fresh berries tend to hold their shape better and bleed less, but frozen work wonderfully too—just don’t thaw them before adding, or the dough will turn purple. Wild blueberries are smaller and ideal for getting a burst of flavor in every bite.

Ingredients for the Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits

Each ingredient here serves a purpose in creating a tender, flavorful biscuit that rises beautifully and delivers juicy bites of blueberry goodness.

All-Purpose Flour: Forms the biscuit’s sturdy but soft base.
Granulated Sugar: Lightly sweetens the dough.
Baking Powder & Baking Soda: Essential leaveners that create that fluffy rise.
Salt: Enhances overall flavor.
Cold Unsalted Butter: The key to flakiness; must be cold to create steam during baking.
Buttermilk: Adds tang and moisture, helping with the tender crumb.
Vanilla Extract: Adds a warm undertone that pairs beautifully with blueberries.
Blueberries: The star of the show! Bursting with flavor and juiciness.
Heavy Cream or Melted Butter (for brushing): Gives biscuits their golden, glossy tops.

How To Make the Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits

Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure your butter is cold and cubed, and your buttermilk is chilled.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures the leavening agents are evenly distributed.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The butter pieces should be pea-sized.

Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients

Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Step 5: Shape and Cut

Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down (don’t twist).

Step 6: Bake

Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, close together for soft sides or spaced out for crisp edges. Brush the tops with cream or melted butter. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.

Step 7: Cool Slightly and Serve

Let them cool for a few minutes, then enjoy warm with butter, honey, or even a touch of whipped cream.

Serving and Storing Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits

These biscuits are best enjoyed warm out of the oven, but they’re still delightful at room temperature. They feed about 6-8 people, depending on how big you cut them.

To store, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also refrigerate them for 4-5 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best results.
