Ingredients
Scale
For the Biscuits
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1/8 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1/8 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup whole buttermilk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
For the Glaze
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cream
Instructions
Make the Biscuit Dough
- In a large bowl, combine self-rising flour and shortening. Mix with a fork until crumbly and the shortening is the size of small peas.
- Gradually stir in the buttermilk until just combined.
- Lightly dust a clean surface with self-rising flour, transfer the dough onto it, and sift more flour over the top.
- Knead gently and fold the dough 3-4 times until it forms a smooth biscuit dough.
Incorporate Blueberries & Shape Biscuits
- Sprinkle ½ cup sugar over the dough, then gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to burst them.
- Sprinkle more flour as needed, then roll and shape the dough to about ¾” thick.
- Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter and place them in a well-greased skillet.
Bake the Biscuits
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and bake the biscuits for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Prepare the Glaze
- While the biscuits bake, whisk together melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream in a bowl until smooth.
Glaze & Serve
- Once the biscuits are done, remove from the oven and pour the glaze evenly over the top.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a crispier texture, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving.
