Blueberry biscuits are super tender, flaky, and delicately sweet.

They have a nice crunchy texture from the turbinado sugar on top, instead of a glaze.

The blueberries add just the right amount of sweetness and additional moisture to the biscuit.

The berries also release some of their juices, which caramelize on the outside for some sticky bites.

Juicy, plump blueberries are wonderful in recipes likeBerry TiramisuandBlueberry-Lemon Cake.

Adding too much fruit may make the dough wet though, so don’t add too much.

If you want a glazed biscuit, hold the buttermilk and turbinado sugar.

Instead, mix powdered sugar and milk, and drizzle it over the biscuits once they’ve cooled.
