Blueberry Biscuits

Step 1

Add flour and sugar to a large bowl, stir to combine. Add butter and shortening and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix in butter and shortening. The mixture should resemble the size of small peas.

Step 2

Make a space in the middle of the bowl and pour in buttermilk. Use a wooden spoon to mix the flour and buttermilk mixture until it’s combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, add blueberries and 1 ½ tsp of flour. Toss the blueberries in the flour. Add the floured blueberries to the flour mixture and gently fold them in.

Step 4

Flour a clean countertop and pour the dough onto it. Flour your hands and gently knead the dough one or two times until it’s smooth. Pat the dough into a square that’s about ¾ of an inch thick.

Step 5

Use a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. You should get about 8-9 biscuits.

Step 6

Optional step: Place your biscuits in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to ensure they are cold before baking.

Step 7

Air Fryer: Place in air fryer basket and bake on 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.

Step 8

Oven: Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Once biscuits are formed, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 14-15 minutes, until tops are golden

Step 9

While biscuits, prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Set aside.

Step 10

Once biscuits are done baking, allow biscuits to cool on a cooling rack for about 5 minutes. Use a fork and sprinkle glaze on top. Serve and enjoy.
