What better way to start your day than with a cup of hot coffee and these delicious Blueberry Biscuits with Vanilla Glaze.
We have our own blueberry bushes but we also have a friend who very generously shared his blueberries with us last year. I ended up freezing 54 quarts of blueberries! With that many blueberries, you search for ways to use them.
This recipe starts with modified biscuit dough. It’s easy to prepare and is sure to please even the picky eaters in your family.
I bake biscuits on a cast iron griddle that belonged to my mom. It is at least 60 years old and is one of my most prized possessions.
The blueberries may bleed into your dough and that’s perfectly fine!
