Blueberry Buttermilk Biscuits
Blueberry Buttermilk Biscuits are classic buttermilk biscuits loaded with fresh blueberries and a sweet glaze on top. It is perfection in every bite!
Ingredients
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup fresh blueberries, about 3-ounces in weight
Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk (you could substitute water)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F with rack in center of oven.
- Cover a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment.
- Cut six tablespoons of the butter into small pieces and place on a dinner plate, then put into the freezer to chill.
- Place a sifter over a medium to large bowl and add flour, baking powder and baking soda and sift into the bowl. Add sugar and salt directly to the bowl.
- Add cold butter and with two knives or a pastry cutter, cut butter into flour to about pea sized pieces.
- Make a hole in the center and pour in buttermilk. With a firm spatula, mix just to absorb the dry into wet.
- Spread some flour on your counter and scrape dough onto flour, then flour the top.
- Use your hands to gently press into a rectangle, one-inch thick.
- Sprinkle some of the blueberries over half then fold in half. Repeat folding six times total, adding a few blueberries each time until they are used. Finish with a dough rectangle one-inch thick.
- Use a 2 ½ inch biscuit cutter and cut out biscuits by pressing straight down without twisting the cutter.
- Remove these to the parchment covered cookie sheet and press the remaining scraps into a one-inch-thick piece and cut more biscuits. Repeat one last time. You should have nine biscuits with a few scraps leftover. Only reuse scraps twice. Any more and the results will be a tough biscuit.
- Bake for 15-16 minutes or until risen and browned.
- While biscuits are baking, melt the remaining two tablespoons of butter and set aside.
- Make the glaze by combining the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Line a small tray with parchment and place a cooling rack over.
- As soon as biscuits come out of the oven, brush with the melted butter then transfer to the prepared rack to cool.
- Cool to slightly warm then drizzle the glaze over each biscuit, allowing it to run over the edges.
- Serve immediately.

Notes
If you glaze while still hot, most of the glaze will melt off and run down to the pan below.
