Blueberry Biscuits Recipe 455

EASY BLUEBERRY BISCUITS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a cookie sheet with some additional butter.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt and cream of tartar in a large bowl.
• Remove wrapper from ½ cup butter and grate, using the large opening of a box grater, onto a plate. It's best if this is cold from the refrigerator OR has been frozen ahead of time. This makes cutting in the butter so much easier.
• Add butter to dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour. If you've grated your butter this won't take very long; it should be sandy looking. Add the zest and stir with a fork.
• Add the buttermilk and stir with a fork until you get a shaggy dough. Add the blueberries and continue to fold carefully, adding up to an additional 2 tablespoons buttermilk until the dough just comes together. Some of the blueberries might break during this process, that's okay.
• Use 2 spoons to scoop 8 biscuits on the prepared cooking sheet. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter and brush over biscuits, sprinkle with granulated sugar.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they just turn golden on the bottoms and some of the little points on top turn golden. Cool 5 minutes then remove from cookie sheet (the heat of the cookie sheet might make them soggy). Serve warm or room temperature with butter.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

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.
