Ingredients

Scale

Biscuits

  • 11 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, divided use
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 ⅔ cups cold buttermilk

Honey Butter

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt to evenly distribute all dry components.
  2. Cut in the Butter: Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut 9 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining. This step creates the biscuit’s flaky texture.
  3. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them, to incorporate burst of flavor within the dough.
  4. Add Buttermilk: Pour the cold buttermilk into the mixture and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  5. Chill the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently gather it into a rough rectangle. Fold the dough over itself 2 to 3 times for layers, then pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Preheat and Prepare for Baking: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove the dough from fridge and transfer to a floured surface for cutting.
  7. Cut the Biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or a sharp glass, cut out biscuits pressing straight down without twisting. Gather scraps, gently reshape, and cut additional biscuits.
  8. Prepare Butter for Baking: Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold butter into small thin slices and place them on top of each biscuit for a buttery crust.
  9. Bake the Biscuits: Place biscuits close together on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  10. Make the Honey Butter: While biscuits bake, combine 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  11. Serve: Once baked, allow biscuits to cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with honey butter spread on top for an irresistible treat.

Notes

  • Use very cold butter to ensure the biscuits turn out flaky and tender.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Fresh blueberries work best for this recipe; frozen blueberries can be used but thaw and drain excess moisture first.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Reheat biscuits in the oven for best texture, about 5-7 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
