Blueberry Biscuits

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
3. Incorporate Butter: Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Milk: Gradually pour in the cold whole milk, stirring just until the dough comes together. Be cautious not to overmix, as this can result in tough biscuits.
5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them as you mix.
6. Shape the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and knead it lightly just a few times until it holds together.
7. Cut Out Biscuits: Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick round, then use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Brush with Cream: Brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream for a golden finish. For added sweetness, sprinkle with a bit of extra sugar if desired.
9. Bake to Perfection: Bake the biscuits for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Pair them with your favorite jam or enjoy them as is for a delightful treat.
