I often forget it, but biscuits don’t begin and end with buttermilk. These Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits, however, make it easy to remember. They’re not quite the flaky round biscuit experience you might be used to – they’re like a really close cousin who has taken an awful lot of inspiration from scones and muffins. They’re sturdy but fluffy, just sweet enough, dotted with plenty of tart spheres of blueberry, and they’re very easy to make. As in, maybe even easier than a drop biscuit.

I love these for two reasons. One – my whole family loves them and will devour them pretty much as soon as I set them out. That makes me happy. Two – this is a one bowl, baking pan situation. No folding or rolling or cutters required.

You just crumble some cold butter into your dry ingredients, and while that process might look familiar, you don’t need to be as exact about it as you do when you’re trying to achieve maximum flakiness. Stir in your blueberries and buttermilk and spread the batter out in the baking pan. It takes all of five minutes.

It helps to score the biscuits with a bench scraper before they head into the oven so that there’s some definition to them when they emerge. And let me tell you, they emerge as a glorious, sky-high, sweet and fluffy biscuit that’s not to be missed.
