❤️WHY WE LOVE THESE BISCUITS
These blueberry biscuits are perfect for any occasion and the sweetness of the blueberries plus the powdered sugar glaze is wonderful. These can almost be served as a dessert option and are perfect for brunch.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- all-purpose flour
- baking powder
- sugar
- butter
- buttermilk
- egg
- fresh blueberries (could use frozen)
- Glaze: powdered sugar and milk
SWAPS
You can use regular whole milk if you don’t have buttermilk. You can also make a buttermilk substitute if you like. We like to make our biscuits with buttermilk and one reason why is the fat content in the milk.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
You only need one bowl to mix everything in, which is always a plus!
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Mix flour, baking powder and sugar together with a whisk. Cut in butter in pieces.
Step 2
Beat egg and milk together in a separate bowl. Add to dry ingredients and mix with a spoon. Fold in blueberries.
Step 3
Turn out onto a floured surface and pat to about 1/2 inch thick with your hands. Cut out with a biscuit cutter. Place on a sprayed baking sheet with biscuits touching. Bake in preheated 425-degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes until biscuits are brown on top. Add glaze.
⭐TIP
Knead biscuit dough as little as possible and get as many biscuits as possible from the first cutting. Biscuit dough should have some wetness.
RECIPE VARIATIONS
If you have followed our site for any amount of time, then you know we have over 40 biscuit recipes. Our Sour Cream Biscuits, Honey Buttermilk Biscuits and Cream Cheese Biscuits are all a hit!
❓FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If they are hard you over baked them or over worked the dough. Biscuits should be a little wet before going in the oven.
Yes! All flour is different so if you can’t get the dough manageable then definitely add more a little at a time.
STORING AND REHEATING
We store these in a air-tight container and reheat them for about 10 seconds in the microwave.

I even added more blueberries – YUM !!
YAY!! Never can go wrong with more blueberries!
I just made these for breakfast without the glaze. They were delicious! Thank you so much for this recipe. This is definitely going into my regular rotation. Curious about if you think almond milk can be substituted for milk (making it like buttermilk with lemon) and if the butter can be subbed with oil or applesauce? thanks again – excellent recipe!!!
I am so glad this was a hit! I have not tried almond milk but it may work, all I can say is give it a go and let us know how it turns out.
So delicious! I added a little fresh lemon juice to the powdered sugar icing. I didn’t have any buttermilk so I used plain kefir. Life changing!!! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Just made these. Talk about amazing.Eating one as I text.
Tried the recipe as written twice and both batches the biscuits had no rise in them. They were flat and hard as bricks. I had bought new baking powder.
I went and bought another new can of baking powder and will try again.
If they are hard you are baking them to long. All oven vary so you will need to adjust the baking time. Plus if you are not making them as thick as I make mine you will need to adjust the time as well.
I can’t pin the blueberry biscuits. After the recipe it goes into comments
It’s a glitch on this one recipe.. you can pin it here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/188447565648596534/
Omg. They are so fine! If I could send a pic, I would. Light, crunchy outside. Lots of sweet glaze. Nomnomnom. Oh yeah, I used self rising flour.
Hi there. Love all your recipes! I would like to use a 3 berry mix I have in the freezer. Do you think that would work?
Can you freeze these?
I have never froze them, but you can try. Probably work just fine.
Maybe y’all in the South have a standard size for biscuit cutters, but we up here don’t know what size is right. I ended up using my 2 1/2″ cutter b/c I didn’t think the larger 3″ one would make as many as the yield indicated. Can you set me straight? Thanks!
It really doesn’t matter what size you use, it’s a personal preference because it depends on what size biscuit you want. I use a 2 inch or 2 1/2 but most of the time I use a glass jar, I don’t even use a cutter. Thanks!
I just made these this morning. Yummy, thank you for sharing.
I’ve been saving your post so I could read about these lovely blueberry biscuits and I sure am glad I did both!!! We love biscuits and these we will be sure to make! They look divine! Thank you for sharing your yummy recipe with us! We always seem to like what treat you have on your blog!!

For some reason there must be a glitch, I will have my tech team look at it. Here is the pin you can pin it from: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/188447565643252806/
Would like to know if I could use Bisquick and add the blueberries and milk???
Yes, Norma, I think that should work for you.
Where is the icon to pin this recipe. I made them and added a teas. of lemon peel. They were awesome! Thank you!
It should be at the very bottom of the post. So glad you enjoy this recipe! Thank you so much for the kind comment. For some reason the pin is not showing up, here is the pin you can pin it from: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/188447565643252806/
Can’t wait to try these. They look so good!
These blueberry biscuits are a treat. I used self-rising flour and made “buttermilk” with vinegar and sweet milk. Thanks for the recipe.
You’re very welcome. Have a wonderful week!
These look very good.. I make Biscuits, or as they are called here in Australia, Scones, all the time.. I grew up calling them biscuits.. From NYS, originally.. I will give the blueberry version a try.. Do look good. A local Bakery makes Blueberry Scones with white chocolate in them.. They taste very good, so may venture to add that one day, too. Thank you for your Southern Recipes. I do so enjoy them..
So happy you are enjoying the recipes, Sue. Happy to have you on our site. Thank you for your comment and have a great weekend.
Made these this morning they were awesome.
Thank you so much Doris. Happy you enjoyed the biscuits and thank you for letting me know. Have a great weekend.
Can I use either regular milk or sour milk?
Yes, you could do that Ursula.
These sound so yummy..I make buttermilk biscuits already now these….can I do them as drop biscuits?
Yes, I think you could Terry.
Thank you..will give this a try
I just made these for the first time this morning. I used frozen as I had no fresh blueberries and regular whole milk. I also put extra blueberries as I love them and am a diabetic (blueberries good for diabetics). A slight dab of butter and a little honey on top. They’re delicious!
I just made these using regular milk and frozen blueberries, because that’s what I had on hand, and they were delicious. The butter and honey really topped them off. Thanks. Love your recipes.
Thank you Marlene! Happy you enjoy the recipes and the biscuits were good.
Good with dried cherries or cranberries reconstituted a bit with apple juice?
Can i replace buttermilk with whole milk?
Yes, you could do that, Donna.
I will be making these biscuits as soon as I get home for Satursday breakfast…
These sound so yummy, this will be a recipe I def. try.. Thanks for sharing..
What’s diff tween these & scones?
Scones are biscuits, too. That is what the British call biscuits.
Made these Judy did you forget the salt in these? I made them as written but 1/4 teaspoon of salt I will add next time good.
Thanks Judy
Hi Carol, I seldom add salt to my recipes. I am not big on salt. My mother and sister both had high blood pressure bad and ate salt all the time. I never eat it and never had a problem. I usually say “salt to taste” or salt “optional”.
Baking powder has sodium in it.
Those biscuits look absolutely awesome! I will be making these.
Yummy! I need to try these. I have the same blue checked cloth – got it years ago from my grandmother from NC.
Buttermilk biscuits with blueberries sounds terrific.
Has anyone tried just patting them into a pan and baking them that way? Or is that just an awful idea?
Yum! Yum! Yum! Sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do…these look very tasty. Great way to begin the day!!! =)
Very nice!
These look so tasty! Nice pictures too!
Will make these
