Copycat BoBerry Biscuits

Blueberries, those little gems of nature, are a fitting partner for biscuits. Their slightly tart and tangy flavor profile is a perfect match for the biscuit’s subtle sweetness. They also lend a natural juiciness and a vibrant burst of color that adds visual appeal to the treat. If you have had BoBerry you may want to make them yourself, I get it. 😉

From the moment they’re mixed into this or our butter swim Bisquick biscuits dough to the moment they burst open in the oven, these small blue fruits infuse each one with a touch of magic. In this recipe we will show you how to make them homemade, and what not to do when mixing and cutting them out.

This is How to Make Biscuits From Scratch with fresh berries inside. The next question = can you use frozen berries to make these? Technically you could but the texture would be way different. With these if you defrosted them first, you’d have to drain the juice and they will break apart when folding inside.

Frozen from the get go you will have a bit more moisture added into the dough as they bake and defrost inside. The only time I like to use frozen blueberries is when we make sweet rolls with them rolled into the center. In this case it is just really better to use fresh produce.

Blueberry Biscuits Ingredients

• Fresh blueberries
• 2 – 2 1/4 c all purpose flour
• Baking powder
• 1 tbsp sugar
• Salt
• Butter needs to be very cold or frozen, or vegan plant based alternative
• Milk

Glaze

• 1 c powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp lemon juice, milk or melted butter works

Now if you wanted to make these into a sweet and savory meal you could air fry or cook up some chicken to sandwich in between the middle like our Whataburger Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit does. A fun meal you can make way cheaper than at the restaurant and with the fruit baked right in you get even more sweets in every bite.

How to Make Biscuits with Blueberries No Buttermilk

• Preheat oven to 425 F.
• In a bowl, mix all of the flour mixture dry ingredients together.
• Add cold unsalted butter chopped or it is better to shave it.
  • This is important to get them as fluffy as possible. The bits will melt and the steam will create the puffiness you want. Adding room temperature won’t have the same effect.
• Use a pastry cutter to blend and turn the mixture into crumbs.
• Add milk and stir just enough to incorporate dry ingredients, NO more. Gently fold in blueberries.
• Very lightly flour a cutting board.
• Dump dough out and roll out or press with palms into a 1-1.5″ thick (thicker will take longer, just a note) piece
• Use a sharp metal biscuit cutter to press out circles, do NOT twist to keep them fluffy.
• Set on a non stick baking sheet. Or into hot oil to make Fried Biscuits
• Bake in a preheated oven at 425 F for about 13 minutes until insides are no longer wet and tops are golden brown. (timing will depend on how thick they are)
• As soon as they are fluffy and done remove from oven, off sheet pan and on to a cooling rack so they don’t dry out. Allow to cool to room temperature
• To make into sweet biscuits; In a bowl whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice for glaze. Drizzle on top and enjoy.

Air fryer directions

Now you could cook them as Homemade Air Fryer Biscuits as well. I feel like they don’t quite get as fluffy this way and the outsides get crispier than I’d like. A great alternative though if it is too hot to turn on your oven or you are in an R.V.

Variations

1. Lemon Blueberry Biscuits Add a zesty twist by incorporating lemon zest or juice into the biscuit dough. The citrusy brightness complements the fresh blueberries beautifully.
2. Cream Cheese Blueberry Biscuits Introducing cream cheese into the biscuit dough adds richness and a slightly tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the blueberries.
3. Streusel Topping For an added layer of texture and flavor, top your blueberry biscuits with a buttery streusel made from flour, sugar, and butter.
4. Biscuit Glaze A simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk can be drizzled over the baked biscuits for an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
5. Buttermilk Blueberry Biscuits Using buttermilk instead of regular milk in your biscuit dough adds a tangy flavor and a subtle richness that pairs wonderfully with the blueberries.

Mayonnaise Biscuits with Blueberries

While classic blueberry biscuits are a joy on their own, you can in fact make them a few different ways with simple ingredients. If you want something quicker just make our Mayonnaise Biscuits and drop a few on top of each one before baking. Total time to get it all done is about 20 minutes flat. Totally worth the extra steps.

With strawberries

You can do this with other fresh fruits too. You can also try our copycat Popeyes Strawberry Biscuit recipe that is a fun one especially during the summer months.

with Bisquick

I mean you don’t need to add a frosting or glaze at all to make these buttermilk biscuits but it takes these babies to the next level for sure. If you want a crispier Bisquick Cinnamon Biscuits like style just make smaller and add 1-2 minutes.

Can you use frozen blueberries instead of fresh in recipes?

Not always. It depends on what you are making. If baking muffins or a cake there is plenty of time for them to defrost and get tender. However if making biscuits it isn’t a great idea because when thawing there will be added liquid released which may make them soggy.

These were made on the thin side so they would resemble cookies when they were done. If you want them thicker, don’t roll the dough quite as thin. Watch thru the window after minute 5 or so. Once browned on top test with a toothpick in the center.
