Ingredients You’ll Need
These ingredients are wonderfully straightforward yet essential, working harmoniously to give your biscuits the perfect balance of tenderness, sweetness, and that irresistible blueberry pop. Every item plays a crucial role, from the fluffy bisquick creating structure to the buttermilk adding a subtle tang.
- 2¼ cups Bisquick: This pre-mixed baking mix saves time and guarantees light, fluffy biscuits every time.
- â…“ cup sugar: Just the right amount to bring a gentle sweetness that complements the berries.
- 1 cup wild blueberries (can use regular): Wild blueberries offer a burst of intense flavor and a pretty little speckle of color inside each biscuit.
- ¾ cup buttermilk: Adds moisture and a mild tanginess that tenderizes the dough beautifully.
- ½ cup powdered sugar: For that classic, sweet glaze that finishes the biscuits with a delicate touch.
- 1 to 2 Tbsp milk: Mixed into the glaze to give it the perfect drizzling consistency.
How to Make Quick Blueberry Biscuits Recipe
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Start by heating your oven to a bright 450ºF. This temperature helps the biscuits rise quickly, developing golden edges while keeping the centers soft and tender.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a bowl, stir together the bisquick, sugar, and buttermilk until you get a soft dough. This step is where the magic starts—don’t overmix, just blend enough to keep the ingredients combined.
Step 3: Fold in the Blueberries
Gently fold in your cup of blueberries, making sure they’re evenly distributed without bursting, so you keep those gorgeous blueberry pockets inside every biscuit.
Step 4: Scoop and Arrange
Using a large cookie scoop or an ice cream scoop, drop dough rounds onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Giving them space helps each biscuit bake with a perfectly crisp outside and tender inside.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 9-12 minutes or until the tops turn a lovely golden brown. Keep an eye on them near the end to avoid overbaking and drying out the biscuits.
Step 6: Prepare the Glaze
While the biscuits bake, mix powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk until you get a smooth, drizzle-worthy glaze. Adjust the milk gradually to find the perfect flow.
Step 7: Drizzle and Enjoy
Once the biscuits are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the tops. This final step adds a touch of sweetness and shine that makes these biscuits truly irresistible.
How to Serve Quick Blueberry Biscuits Recipe
Garnishes
For a little extra wow factor, sprinkle a few fresh blueberries or a light dusting of powdered sugar on top. A tiny mint leaf can add a fresh, unexpected pop of color and aroma.
Side Dishes
These biscuits shine when paired with creamy butter, a dollop of clotted cream, or even a smear of homemade lemon curd, balancing the sweetness with zesty brightness. They’re also wonderful alongside scrambled eggs or a fresh fruit salad if you’re serving breakfast or brunch.
Creative Ways to Present
Try stacking these biscuits into mini blueberry shortcake towers with whipped cream for dessert, or slice them horizontally and create a sweet breakfast sandwich with cream cheese and honey. Their tender crumb invites all sorts of delicious creativity!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, keeping them soft and ready to enjoy with a quick warm-up.
Freezing
To preserve their freshness longer, freeze cooled biscuits in a sealed freezer bag for up to three months. Thaw them overnight in the fridge or briefly on the counter before reheating.
Reheating
Reheat leftovers in a warm oven at 300ºF for about 8-10 minutes or microwave for 20-30 seconds, just enough to refresh their tender texture and melted glaze without drying out.
FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Absolutely! Just be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture that could make the dough soggy. Frozen blueberries still provide great flavor and color.
What if I don’t have buttermilk?
No worries—make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to ¾ cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes, and you’ll have the perfect buttermilk substitute for this recipe.
Can these biscuits be made vegan or dairy-free?
You can try swapping out buttermilk for almond or oat milk mixed with lemon juice and use a dairy-free powdered sugar glaze. However, texture may vary slightly from the classic version.
Is it okay to use regular biscuits mix instead of Bisquick?
Bisquick is ideal because it’s perfectly balanced for tender, fluffy biscuits, but any quality baking mix designed for biscuits should work fine in a pinch.
How do I prevent the blueberries from bleeding too much into the dough?
Fold them in gently and avoid overmixing. Using wild blueberries also helps since they tend to bleed less than larger cultivated berries.

This Quick Blueberry Biscuits Recipe is truly a little treasure that brings warm, comforting sweetness to any meal with minimal fuss.
