Blueberry Cream Cheese Biscuits

Homemade Biscuits

Homemade biscuits are one of our favorite weekend breakfast treats. You can’t beat a warm biscuit right out of the oven, especially when you slather that biscuit with butter and homemade jam. Our new favorite breakfast biscuits are these Blueberry Cream Cheese Biscuits from Jessica’s new cookbook, The Pretty Dish. When our boys saw the biscuits in her beautiful new cookbook, they begged us to make them for breakfast. We wanted to make and eat them too, so it was an easy sell:)

Perfect Biscuits

Don’t be intimidated by making homemade biscuits, especially these Blueberry Cream Cheese Biscuits. They are easy to make and SO light and fluffy! The biscuits are made with plenty of butter (a biscuit MUST), buttermilk, AND cream cheese. Yes, cream cheese in biscuits. Jessica is creative like that and the cream cheese addition makes these biscuits SO good! The biscuits are also filled with plump and juicy blueberries. Our boys love blueberries and were super excited about the blueberry addition. The blueberries really make the biscuits special. Oh, and let’s not forget the salted vanilla butter. It is the perfect finishing touch for the biscuits. Slather that butter on a warm biscuit and you will be in biscuit heaven, especially when you bite into a juicy blueberry! Biscuit perfection!

How to Make Biscuits:

Bake the biscuits at a high temperature, 425 degrees F. Make sure your butter, cream cheese, and buttermilk are COLD. Don’t overwork the biscuit dough. If you do, the biscuits will be tough and you won’t get the flaky texture you are looking for. Carefully mix in the blueberries. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, but be careful when you are mixing them in. You don’t want to smash them, if you do, you will have blue biscuits. Use a biscuit cutter to cut the biscuits. If you don’t have a biscuit cutter you can use a circle glass to cut the biscuits. Make sure you form the biscuit dough into a circle that is a 1 1/2-inch circle. Yes, you want the biscuits that thick. You will have extra dough after cutting your first round of biscuits. Gently form the dough back together and cut more biscuits until all of the dough is used. The biscuits will puff up in the oven. Bake until golden and high. Serve warm with salted vanilla butter, if desired.

Biscuits for Any Occasion

You are going to love these scones that are BURSTING with blueberries! They are the perfect treat for breakfast or brunch. I really think you should make them for Easter brunch this weekend. They are also perfect for Mother’s Day brunch, the 4th of July, Father’s Day, or any morning. You don’t need a special occasion to make these biscuits. They are easy to make and will brighten any morning. Blueberry Cream Cheese Biscuits are going to be a regular weekend recipe at our house. Our boys are already begging us to make them again. Thanks Jessica for the recipe! And make sure you check out Jessica’s cookbook, The Pretty Dish. You will LOVE it! It is my new favorite cookbook.
