¾ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1¼ cups buttermilk, cold
1½ cups blueberries

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl combine:

flour
sugar
baking powder
baking soda
salt

Mix well.

Add the cold butter cubes and cut them into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gently fold in the blueberries.

2. Add the Buttermilk

Make a well in the center of the mixture.

Pour in the cold buttermilk.

Stir gently with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.

3. Shape the Biscuits

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.

Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Cut the dough into rounds or squares using a biscuit cutter or knife.

4. Bake

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.

Brush the tops lightly with extra buttermilk for a golden finish.

5. Serve

Transfer biscuits to a wire rack and let them cool slightly.

Serve warm with:

butter
