Instructions
Creating Sweet Blueberry Biscuits is a straightforward process. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until evenly mixed.
3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Milk: Pour in the whole milk and vanilla extract (if using). Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them. This will keep them whole and flavorful.
6. Shape the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
7. Cut Biscuits: Use a round cutter (or a glass) to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather scraps and repeat if necessary.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
10. Serve Warm: Enjoy warm, as is, or with your favorite toppings.
These steps will guide you in creating a batch of amazing Sweet Blueberry Biscuits that everyone will love.
