AN EASY BLUEBERRY BISCUIT RECIPE

This sweet biscuit recipe was inspired by those blueberry biscuits (Bo-Berry Biscuit®) at Bojangles. Ever since I created the Butter Swim Biscuits (a.k.a. Butter Dip Biscuits) recipe over 13 years ago, I thought it was time to create some sweet versions. After a couple of attempts, I think I got these Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits just right!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)

• unsalted butter – you can actually use salted butter here as well. The salted butter would cut the overall sweetness of the dish but I decided to use unsalted because I made this with buttermilk and I thought the buttermilk did a good enough job of keeping this from being too sweet.
• all-purpose flour – you don’t need to sift the flour, just make sure to use the dip and scoop method (leveling the top off with the flat end of a knife). You could use self-rising flour, just don’t add the additional baking soda to the recipe.
• granulated sugar – I have not tried this with sugar substitutes so can’t say how that would turn out.
• aluminum-free baking powder – this is a personal preference, use what you have (I explain more about this above in the FAQ).
• buttermilk – heavy cream is the best substitute if you don’t have buttermilk.
• blueberries – I prefer fresh here but I also discuss the use of frozen up in the FAQ section.

HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY BUTTER SWIM BISCUITS

Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Spray a 9×9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (I like the kind with flour in it). In a microwave-safe bowl, melt stick of butter in the microwave. Pour melted butter into prepared baking dish.

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Pour in the buttermilk.

Stir until a sticky dough forms.If batter still looks dry, add a tad bit more of the buttermilk until you have a sticky dough. Add in blueberries.

Stir gently until combined.

Pour biscuit dough into baking dish (right on top of the melted butter.) Some of the butter will run over the top of the dough. Spread out the batter evenly (as best as you can). I find this is easiest if I spray my hand with nonstick spray and then gently push the batter around.

With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 9 squares. This doesn’t need to be perfect. It will just help with cutting the finished biscuits later.

Bake (on the middle oven rack) for about 25-30 minutes, rotating dish once during baking. Tops should be golden brown and when you insert a toothpick in the center, it should come out clean with no wet batter.

In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar with milk. Add a little at a time until you’ve reached your desired thickness.

Drizzle on top of the warm biscuits.

Allow the biscuits to cool slightly then slice and serve.
