Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg beaten for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: First, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) so it’s hot and ready for your biscuits.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to mash them.
- Combine with Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; this will help keep your biscuits fluffy.
- Shape the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together. Roll it out to about 1-inch thick.
- Cut the Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet.
- Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each biscuit with the beaten egg for a nice golden-brown finish.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they’re golden brown on top.
- Enjoy Warm: Serve these biscuits warm and watch your family devour them in no time!
