Instructions
- Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs about the size of peas or a little smaller.2 cups all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Add the blueberries to the bowl and toss until well coated.1 heaping cup fresh blueberries

- Lightly flour a work surface, and gently pat the dough into a rectangle about ¾ to 1-inch thick.
- Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut the dough without twisting.
- Arrange the cut biscuits in the prepared pan making sure their sides touch. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. While the biscuits chill, preheat the oven to 425°F.

Notes
*The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 biscuit. Actual calories will vary.
*Recipe makes 6-8 biscuits. It's dependent on how thick you roll the dough and the size of the biscuit cutter. I'm able to get 6 biscuits into an 9-inch pan and cook a 7th biscuit on a separate smaller pan.
*You may not need all the milk. Add it just until the dough holds together.
*Make sure to line the pan with parchment paper; otherwise, the blueberries will stick to it and burn.
*Every oven operates differently, so adjust the cooking time if needed.
