Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together with an electric mixer until smooth, reserving blueberries.
- Fold in the blueberries by hand to avoid breaking them.
- Spoon the batter onto cookie sheets, using 1/2 cup portions for each biscuit.
- Leave plenty of space between each biscuit, approximately 6 per pan.
- Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-14 minutes, until the middle springs back when touched.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter biscuit, consider using cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. If you prefer a different sweetener, honey or maple syrup can be substituted for molasses, though the flavor will change slightly. Ensure your baking powder is fresh for optimal rising. If you don't have fresh blueberries, frozen ones can be used; just do not thaw them before mixing in to prevent excess moisture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve blueberry biscuits warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a cup of tea for a delightful breakfast or brunch. For a heartier meal, consider serving them alongside Peg'S Reuben Casserole. These biscuits can also be enjoyed as a sweet snack on their own.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover blueberry biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag, where they can last for up to 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, simply scoop and place on the baking sheets as directed. Alternatively, you can bake them ahead and reheat, which helps maintain their texture.
What can I substitute for milk in this recipe?
You can use almond milk or any other non-dairy milk for a dairy-free option. If you're looking for a creamier texture, try using buttermilk or yogurt mixed with water to achieve a similar consistency and tang.
How can I avoid overmixing the dough?
To prevent overmixing, mix the dry ingredients separately before combining them with the wet ingredients. Once combined, mix just until no dry flour remains. Folding in the blueberries gently by hand also helps maintain the biscuit's light texture.
