QUICK AND EASY BLUEBERRY BISCUITS RECIPE

Steps:

• The key to success in this recipe is to keep the ingredients cold and get the biscuits in the oven right away.
• Store the butter and cream or buttermilk in the fridge until they're ready - they should not be room temperature. If the dough sits out for any period of time, chill them for a few minutes in the fridge.
• Heat your oven to 425 degrees.
• Add the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder to a large bowl.
• Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly or sieve them to ensure they're fully blended.
• Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a knife or pastry blender, blending until the butter is pea-size.
• Create a well in the center of the bowl and add 2/3 cup liquid and mix gently.
• Add more liquid, one tablespoon at a time, if needed
• The dough will barely hold together, and have chunks of butter. Place it on a lightly floured work surface and add the berries gently. If the dough is very soft and warm, chill for 20 minutes.
• To shape the biscuits, you can roll the dough into a rectangle and cut into 12 pieces. Or, you can use a biscuit cutter. Or, you can scoop large spoonfuls of dough. There's no wrong way to shape the biscuits, just ensure they are uniform in shape and size. If you want, you can brush the tops with milk, or sprinkle with turbinado sugar, or do both.
• Bake the biscuits at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes. They will begin to become golden brown on top, and begin to crisp up. They should not be wet or shiny, but look light, fluffy, and delicious.

SWEET BLUEBERRY BISCUITS WITH LEMON GLAZE

Steps:

• Review the illustrated pictures above this recipe before making it. They will show you exactly how to prepare the dough and add in the blueberries.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and buttermilk and mix just until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not over mix. The mixture will be very wet and sticky.
• Dump the mixture onto a well-floured work surface. Lightly work the biscuit dough with your hands, adding flour as needed, until the dough is no longer sticky.
• Using your hands, pat the dough out to about 1/2 inch in thickness. Scatter the blueberries over the dough. Gently fold one half of the dough over onto the other half, making sure all of the blueberries stay in the dough. Now gently fold the dough over again. Pat the dough out to about 1 inch in thickness. Using a biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits, making sure to not twist the biscuit cutter as you cut. You should cut straight down and up. If any of the blueberries fall out, just tuck them back into the dough. Reform dough scraps into a disc and pat out again and cut into biscuits.
• Place the biscuits in the greased iron skillet, making sure they are touching. I used a 2-inch cutter and got 10 biscuits. If you don't have an iron skillet, feel free to use a round 9-inch cake pan.
• Bake biscuits in preheated oven for approximately 8-9 minutes, until they have risen but haven't started to brown on top. Remove from oven and brush with the melted butter, making sure you cover all of the biscuits. Return to oven and bake until the biscuits are golden brown on top and remove from oven.
• Set biscuits aside while you make the glaze.
• Add all of the ingredients to a 2-cup measuring cup. Whisk until smooth and the powdered sugar is dissolved. Drizzle over the hot biscuits and serve immediately.
• Biscuits will stay fresh for up to one day but are best the day they are made. Reheat biscuits by wrapping in a paper towel and heating in a microwave for 10 seconds.

BLUEBERRY BISCUITS WITH LEMON GLAZE

Steps:

• Place blueberries in the freezer (even if using fresh) until ready to use.
• Position an oven rack to the center position and preheat to 450°F/230°C.
• Spray a cast iron pan (or cake pan) with non-stick spray or line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Measure out all ingredients. Dice the butter into small cubes. Keep the butter and buttermilk in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour (240 grams, 2 cups), sugar (50 grams, ¼ cup), baking powder (1 tablespoon), baking soda (¼ teaspoon), salt (1 ¼ teaspoon), cinnamon (½ teaspoon), and lemon zest (1 ½ teaspoons).
• Add the cold diced butter (85 grams, 6 tablespoons) to the mixing bowl and cut it into the flour mixture. To do this, press down on the fat with the wires of the pastry blender or the tines of a fork as you move it around the bowl. Continue cutting the fat into the flour until most of the pieces of fat are about the size of peas with some pieces being about the size of a walnut half.
• Add the cold buttermilk (240 grams, 1 cup) into the bowl and stir with a spoon or a silicone spatula just until combined. This should only take a few turns. The dough will be pretty wet and sticky.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter. Dust flour over the top of the dough. With floured hands bring the dough together into one mass.
• Pat the dough out (do not roll with a rolling pin) until it is about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick. Sprinkle the cold blueberries (125 grams, 1 cup) on top and press them into the dough. Using a bench knife (or a metal spatula can be helpful if you do not have a bench knife), fold the dough in half and then turn it 90 degrees. Pat out and fold again for a total of 6 times. This process is creating layers that will create flaky biscuits. Be gentle not to squeeze the blueberries.
• Press the dough out to about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick and use a round cutter that is about 2.5-inches (6 cm) in diameter to cut out your biscuits. When cutting out, dip your cutter in flour, press straight down, and pull it back up without twisting it. Twisting can seal the edge of your biscuit, not allowing it to rise fully. Gently pat the scraps together to cut out the rest of your biscuits. Alternatively, you can pat the dough into a rectangle and use a sharp knife to divide the dough into 8 rectangular-shaped biscuits.
• Place the biscuits in the prepared cast iron pan or baking sheet with the edges touching so they will rise up against each other.
• As an optional step, place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes before baking. This will ensure that your biscuits will not spread too much and will allow your oven to fully pre-heat.
• Bake at 450°F/230°C for 13-15 minutes until golden brown. Do not open the oven door for at least the first half of baking time. You want the steam to stay trapped in the oven to help with the rise.
• Place the powdered sugar (120 grams, 1 cup) in a small bowl with the salt (one pinch) and lemon zest (1 tablespoon).
• Add the lemon juice (2-3 tablespoons) into the bowl bit by bit, whisking until you have a thick glaze, about the consistency of honey. It should flow slowly off the whisk in a steady stream. If the glaze gets too thin, you can add a bit more powdered sugar to thicken it back up.
• When the biscuits are slightly cooled but still warm, drizzle the glaze over the tops and serve.

GLAZED BLUEBERRY BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until well-incorporated.
• Add the cold milk & mix a bit. As dough begins to form, use a cheese grater to grate the butter into the dough evenly. Fold dough as you grate so the butter spreads evenly throughout. When done with the butter, fold in the blueberries.
• Gently pull off chunks of dough and pat to form 10 biscuits of roughly the same size. Place on ungreased cookie sheet or cake pan. Bake in oven for about 7-12 minutes, or until golden.
• When biscuits are done, paint them with the melted butter using a pastry brush.
• Just before serving, mix the powdered sugar, water, vanilla and lemon juice to create a glaze. Drizzle over biscuits.
