🫐 Blueberry Biscuits

🍽️ Makes 8–10 biscuits | Prep: 15 min | Bake: 15–18 min

🧺 Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• 2 tbsp granulated sugar (add 1 more for sweeter biscuits)

• ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed

• ¾ cup cold buttermilk (plus more for brushing tops)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

• Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling

🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat to 425°F (220°C).

   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

3. Cut in Butter:

   • Add cold butter cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs (pea-sized pieces of butter are okay).

4. Add Liquid:

   • Stir in buttermilk and vanilla (if using) just until a shaggy dough forms.

   • Gently fold in the blueberries — try not to crush them.

5. Shape Biscuits:

   • Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Gently pat it into a ¾-inch thick rectangle.

   • Fold it in half once or twice to create layers, then pat it out again.

   • Use a biscuit cutter or a floured glass to cut out rounds.

6. Bake:

   • Place biscuits on the baking sheet, close together for soft sides or spaced for crisp edges.

   • Brush tops with a little buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

   • Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden on top.

7. Cool & Serve:

   • Let cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, honey, or a lemon glaze drizzle.

🍋 Optional Lemon Glaze:

Mix ½ cup powdered sugar with 1 tbsp lemon juice. Drizzle over warm biscuits.

👵 Grandma Mari’s Twist:

• She sometimes added a dash of cinnamon or lemon zest to the dough.

• Leftovers became dessert with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
