Why You Will Love This Sweet Biscuit

This post was originally published Sep 6, 2014. It has since been updated to include new photos and helpful recipe tips.

All honesty, this recipe came about after we moved back to Utah from North Carolina. I was seriously craving a boberry biscuit (shout out to Bojangles), but there is literally no where in this state to get them.

I ran to the store, picked up a fresh basket of berries, and crossed my fingers that I could work some kitchen magic and recreate their melt-in-your-mouth biscuits.

Good news is, I did it. They do not taste identical to the Boberry version, but they are close. My eleven year old says they are even better. The biscuit is sweet, made with cream instead of butter, and melts in your mouth. The berries add a punch of flavor and everything is finished with a sweet vanilla glaze.

DELICIOUS.

Blueberry Biscuit Ingredients

This recipe is different from your typical flaky version. It does not use butter and instead gets the fat it needs from heavy cream. The dough still has a light and delicious flavor. It simply eliminates the need to work the dough.

All-purpose flour- Or white flour. This is the most common flour and found in the baking aisle of your local grocer.
Sugar- White sugar, or granulated, is all you will need for this recipe.
Baking Powder- This will be the leavening agent in the dough. This helps expand the other ingredients which gives you that fluffy structure.
Heavy Cream- Or whipping cream. Both of these contain the same, or around the same, fat content which will work well with this dough.
Blueberries – Fresh is best. See the note below if you plan to use frozen berries.

Fresh vs frozen berries:

For these blueberry biscuits, fresh berries are preferred. However, in a pinch, you can also use frozen blueberries.

If the need arises, and you find yourself with only frozen berries, make sure to thaw the berries completely and drain any juice. Excess liquid can harm the end result of your sweet biscuits.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Wash the berries and set them in the freezer until the dough is prepped.
Whisk the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl. Stir in the heavy cream until your dough starts to come together. Finish mixing with clean hands. Fold in the berries.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat into a round that is 1/2 inch thickness.
Cut into circles using a cup or biscuit cutter.
Place on a baking tray and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Whisk: This whisk is AMAZING. I have had it for years and it stands the test of time. My favorite feature? It is slightly flexible which makes it so easy to clean.
Small prep bowls: This set is my go-to. I actually have 2. They are small enough that they aren’t terrible to store, but big enough that making a vanilla glaze is a breeze.
Baking pans: These are half sheet pans. Since we have a smaller family, these work well for us. It also comes in a two pack, which is super handy if I need to make a bigger batch of anything.
Silicone Baking Mats: If you only ever purchase one baking supply, make it be these mats. They are AMAZING. They help with even cooking, keep your pans from becoming a sticky mess, and are a great reusable substitute for parchment paper.
