Sweet Blueberry Biscuits


I'm a tad obsessed with Nordic Ware. Especially nifty little pans that make your food look so pretty, people think you spent hours crafting it to perfection. Truth be told, I spent 15 minutes prepping and about 15 minutes baking these delicious Sweet Blueberry Biscuits. The pan did all the pretty work for me, and I get to sit back and take credit with all the oohs and awes of how beautifully delicious these biscuits look. 

Pan from Nordic Ware provides swirls and beautiful details!

Sweet Blueberry Biscuits
GLAZE
1 cup powder sugar
3 Tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

BISCUITS
2 cups all purpose flour 
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 stick unsalted butter
2 oz cream cheese
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup FROZEN blueberries
~1/2 stick melted butter~

Begin by making your glaze. In a small bowl add powder sugar, milk and vanilla. Stir all 3 ingredients until powder sugar has dissolved.

Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
For the biscuits: add all the dry ingredients {flour,baking powder, salt and sugar}
 Mix well in a large bowl.
Cut in butter and cream cheese using a pastry blender or fork until pea sized
Slowly stir in your buttermilk until your dough no longer sticks to the bowl
Mix until blended well

Prepare a large area for kneading. Sprinkle some flour on a large cutting board or counter top.
Put dough on floured surface and sprinkle top of dough with a little more flour
Press the dough out to 1/2" thickness
Place frozen blueberries over dough and begin to fold dough over the blueberries. 

**I used a dough scraper for this step, as the blueberries like to roll off and its just easier to fold over when the dough is full.**

Knead it a few times and keep it about 1" thick. 

(Unless you are using a pan like mine from Nordic Ware)

Cut biscuits using a biscuit cutter or cup

Place biscuits in a well coated pan using Bakers Joy or some sort of non-stick cooking spray.

Bake at 500 degrees for 10-15 minutes

When you put the biscuits in the oven, melt the 1/2 stick butter 
At 6 minutes into your bake, take biscuits out of the oven and brush the melted 1/2 stick butter over them, making sure to get the edges well.
Return to oven to finish out baking process

Once the biscuits are done, take them out of the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
If you are making these biscuits as traditional cut biscuits, after 10 minutes add the glaze.
If you are making these biscuits using the Nordic Ware pan, turn over onto pan and make sure top is baked as desired. If not, return to oven for a few more minutes (mine took about 3 more minutes)
Once cooled for 10 minutes after last bake, add your glaze.


Enjoy!!!
