Chocolate chip biscuits are one of the kids most favorite breakfasts. I make them at least twice a month and always try to make extras for the freezer. Since they are such a hit, I haven’t really played around with the recipe all that much.
That changed last week when I had some blueberries on hand that I wanted to use up. I originally thought of the usual blueberry suspects – muffins, pancakes, berry syrup, fritters…apparently we like blueberries a lot because there were a ton of options I could have gone with. But I had already gotten a few requests for chocolate chip biscuits. So, I decided it was time to do a little tweaking!
Glazed Blueberry Biscuit Bites
- 1 1/2 c. flour
- 3 T. sugar
- 1 T. baking powder
- 1/2 t. salt
- 1/4 c. butter, cut into pieces
- 1 t. vanilla
- About 1/2 c. milk
- 1 c. blueberries
- 1 c. powdered sugar
- 3 T. milk
1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in vanilla and just enough milk until dough comes together and isn’t sticky.
2. Knead dough for 2 minutes. Roll into a large rectangle on a floured surface, about 1/2-inch thick. Pour blueberries on top of half of the dough. Fold the remaining dough over the top and press lightly.
3. Cut dough into about 1 1/2 dozen squares. Gently roll each square into a ball and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for about 10-15 minutes, until lightly golden brown on top. Cool completely.
4. In a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar and milk until desired consistency. Drizzle over biscuit bites and enjoy!
These are perfect to make a day or two ahead of time, but make sure that you store them so that they are covered well, preferably in a plastic storage bag or plastic container, otherwise they could get very dry.
Ooooohh these sound amazing for Sunday Brunch! One batch of these, one of the original chocolate chip with some honey butter…YUM!! Thanks for sharing!
These look delicious, Kate! Love blueberries…. in anything, and these remind me of a doughnut hole
Yes and YES! I had forgotten about the chocolate chip biscuits – I need to make those again! Kate, can you PLEASE just write a cookbook so I can stop printing off all the recipes!
My family loves these! Next time I will be more diligent about rolling them into tight balls with the blueberries inside because a number of mine became unfurled. No matter, they were still delicious, similar to mini blueberry danishes.
