Tips for Success
When making blueberry biscuits, it's important to use cold butter. This helps to create the flaky texture that makes biscuits so enjoyable. If your kitchen is warm, consider chilling the butter in the freezer for a few minutes before use to ensure the best results.
Be gentle when mixing the dough. Overworking the mixture can lead to tough biscuits, so mix just until the ingredients are combined. Folding in the blueberries carefully will help preserve their shape and prevent them from breaking apart.
Storage Suggestions
To keep your blueberry biscuits fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Once baked, let the biscuits cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag.
When you're ready to enjoy them, simply reheat the frozen biscuits in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. This will help restore their flaky texture and make them taste freshly baked.
