Blueberry Biscuits

Weekends are all about breakfast for me. During the week I usually just eat yogurt or a protein bar for breakfast, but on Saturdays and Sundays I love pancakes, waffles, eggs, biscuits, you name it.

These Blueberry Biscuits are a lot like Bojangles Bo Berry Biscuits, one of my favorite indulgences. I used dried blueberries to get an intense blueberry flavor and because I was worried that fresh blueberries would make the dough around it soggy. I finished them off and sweetened them up a bit with a cream cheese drizzle.

These biscuits have a packet of yeast in them which helps make light biscuits every time. They are called Angel Biscuits when they have yeast, or sometimes Bride’s Biscuits because they’re so easy to make, even a bride can do it.

When making biscuits, be sure to use really cold butter. I sometimes cut it into chunks and place it in the freezer for a few minutes. Be careful not to overwork the dough or your biscuits will be tough instead of soft and light. Also, when you cut the biscuits, do not turn the biscuit cutter. This will prevent them from rising well. Just go straight down and up with the cutter.
