The Secret to the Best Blueberry Biscuits
If you’ve ever wondered why some biscuits rise tall and others fall flat, the answer comes down to technique and temperature. The secret to perfect blueberry biscuits is keeping the butter as cold as possible. Cold butter creates steam pockets in the oven, giving you that flaky, tender texture that makes a biscuit unforgettable.
Another key detail? Fresh blueberries. While frozen blueberries can work in a pinch, fresh berries add brightness and prevent extra moisture in the dough. Combine that with a touch of sugar to balance the tartness, and you’ve got the perfect bite: buttery, flaky, sweet, and fruity.
Pro Tips to Nail These Blueberry Biscuits Every Time
Use cold butter and cold milk. The colder the fat, the flakier the biscuit.
Don’t overmix the dough. A light hand keeps the biscuits tender instead of tough.
Fold in blueberries gently. This keeps them whole and prevents streaky purple dough.
Chill before baking. Even 10 minutes in the fridge helps the biscuits puff up beautifully.
Brush with cream or butter. This gives the tops that bakery-style golden glow.
These little details make the difference between good biscuits and the best homemade blueberry biscuits ever.
Fun Variations to Try
Blueberry Lemon Biscuits: Add fresh lemon zest to the dough and drizzle with a lemon glaze for a bright, tangy twist.
Blueberry Buttermilk Biscuits: Swap in tangy buttermilk for extra flavor and even more tenderness.
Glazed Blueberry Biscuits: Top warm biscuits with a simple vanilla or cream cheese glaze for a dessert-style treat.
Each variation keeps the heart of the recipe the same — tender, buttery biscuits filled with blueberries — while giving you a chance to experiment with new flavors.

3/4 cup milk (whole or buttermilk)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingertips until crumbly with pea-sized pieces of butter.

Bake 18–20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
