What Kind of Blueberries Should I Use?

Fresh blueberries are always a top choice for their firmness and bright flavor. They hold up well in the dough and won’t release too much moisture, keeping the biscuits fluffy. However, frozen blueberries work just fine too—just make sure not to thaw them first. Add them straight from the freezer to the dry ingredients to prevent streaking and excess moisture in the dough.

Ingredients for the Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits

These biscuits are made with a handful of pantry staples, plus fresh (or frozen) blueberries. Each ingredient has its own role in building that dreamy texture and flavor.

• All-purpose flour – The foundation of the dough, giving the biscuits structure.
• Baking powder – Helps the biscuits rise and gives them a light texture.
• Baking soda – Works with the acidity of the buttermilk for an extra lift.
• Salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.
• Granulated sugar – Just enough to sweeten the dough and complement the blueberries.
• Unsalted butter – Cut into the flour to create flaky layers and richness.
• Buttermilk – Adds tang and moisture, making the biscuits tender and soft.
• Fresh or frozen blueberries – The star of the show, adding fruity bursts in every bite.

How To Make the Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you’re using frozen blueberries, leave them in the freezer until the moment you need them.

Step 2: Make the Biscuit Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3: Fold in Blueberries

Gently toss the blueberries into the dry mixture, coating them with flour. Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 4: Shape and Cut

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold it over once or twice, then gently pat it down again. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crisp edges. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let them cool slightly before serving.

How to Serve and Store Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits

These biscuits are at their best served warm, straight from the oven. Add a smear of butter or a drizzle of honey for a cozy, indulgent bite. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes until warmed through.

For longer storage, freeze the baked biscuits. Let them cool completely, then wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag. Reheat straight from frozen in a 350°F oven for 10–12 minutes.

This recipe makes about 8 biscuits, perfect for feeding a small group or treating yourself with extras for the next day.
