Blueberry Biscuits

Sunday morning I set out to make cinnamon raisin biscuits, but then I remembered none of us like raisins. It’s been a long week so I definitely am not sitting by watching my daughter pick out every single raisin while crying that the raisins touched the biscuit. No thanks.

But the blueberries y’all. Why have I never thought of that. I am a biscuit pro…in the sense of eating the biscuits…pro biscuit eater, right here. I could have been putting blueberries in them the WHOLE TIME!

You know what, I would totally eat these with ham and cheese…wait…AND a poached egg. Can I do that? Egg, ham, and cheese on a biscuit? Lorddddt I’m doing it today for breakfast.

SWEET BLUEBERRY BISCUITS TASTE BETTER ON SUNDAYS

• They also taste good Mon-Sat but I’m just saying…Sunday mornings seem even more special with blueberry biscuits.
• The bottoms have a little crunch thanks to the butter. Thank you butterrrrr.
• The kids will love them even though they are whole wheat, that’s a win on the weekend.
• We had leftovers and were able to get two breakfasts out this recipe.
• I don’t hate a ham and cheese sandwich on these biscuits.

What Goes In These Blueberry Biscuits?

• Whole Wheat Flour: Don’t be disappointed. These are SO GOOD with whole wheat flour. You can also use all purpose flour but you will need to raise the butter to 8 Tbsp and skip the Vital Wheat Gluten.
• Vital Wheat Gluten: This helps the whole wheat flour fluff up and be a littler lighter.
• Sweetened Dried Blueberries: You can sub cranberries, raisins, or any other dried fruit you can find…but really the blueberries are 100% that fruit.
• Baking Powder: This helps the biscuits rise in the oven.
• Sweetener: We used Swerve sugar substitute but you can use 1/4 cup regular sugar..
• Powdered Sweetener: Used for the glaze on top of the biscuits. We used Swerve powdered sugar substitute but you can use regular powdered sugar.
• Butter: Butttahhhhhh. This helps the biscuits fluff up and adds a buttery flavor and crunch to the bottom of the biscuit.
• Vanilla Extract: A whole tablespoon. Just gives it a cakey, creamy, warm flavor. Pro bakery status in your kitchen.
• Milk: Again, more assistance on fluffing and hydrates the mixture. Also used in the sweet glaze on top.
• Egg: Optional, used for brushing on the tops for browning.

How To Make Blueberry Biscuits

1. Gather your ingredients.
2. Whisk together dry ingredients.
3. Cut butter in using a pastry blender or two knives. Make sure the butter pieces are pea sized.
4. Make a well in the center of the mixture, pour in the milk.
5. Stir in blueberries before a dough forms.
6. Once it comes together, turn it out onto a floured surface and knead with your hands for a minute, let it rest for 5 minutes.
7. Pat it out to 1″ thickness (or less depending on the size of the biscuits you want) . Cut with a biscuit cutter, or the rim of a glass.
8. Arrange them on a baking sheet, and brush with egg wash
9. Bake them at 400° for 15 minutes and then glaze.

THIS GOES GREAT WITH:

• Instant Pot Strawberry Jam
• Kitchen Sink Mushroom Poblano Frittata
• Instant Pot Soft Boiled Eggs
• Low Carb Pumpkin Granola
• Spicy Low Carb Breakfast Casserole
