Flaky Blueberry Buttermilk Biscuits

Soft on the inside, crisp on the outside, and bursting with juicy blueberries

Flaky Blueberry Buttermilk Biscuits are the perfect blend of classic Southern biscuit technique and fresh, fruity flavor. These biscuits rise tall with delicate layers, thanks to cold butter and gentle handling, while tangy buttermilk balances the sweetness of the blueberries. Whether served warm for breakfast, brunch, or as a cozy afternoon treat, they feel both comforting and special.

Why These Biscuits Are So Good

What sets these biscuits apart is the contrast of textures and flavors. The outside bakes up lightly golden and crisp, while the inside remains tender and layered. Buttermilk adds a subtle tang that keeps the biscuits from tasting overly sweet, and the blueberries soften as they bake, creating little pockets of jammy fruit in every bite.

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to a hot temperature so the biscuits begin rising immediately once they go in. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
