Raise your hand if youโve never used Bisquick to make biscuits! I have to admit, I keep Bisquick in the pantry, but 9 times out of 10, when I grab it itโs to make pancakes. These Blueberry Biscuits are sure to make you a convert, though.
If youโre not a fan of savory biscuits, youโll still love this Bisquick Blueberry Biscuit recipe because the added fruit and glaze is a total game-changer. Say good-bye to boring, plain biscuits and hello to your favorite new breakfast pastry.

Ingredients
Hereโs what youโll need to make this recipe for Bisquick Blueberry Biscuits:
- Bisquick โ I havenโt tested this recipe with other baking mixes, so I suggest sticking with the original or my DIY Bisquick mix.
- Sugar โ Youโll need 1/3 cup of sugar to sweeten the biscuit dough, then another tablespoon to sprinkle on the biscuits before baking. If you have Demerara sugar on hand, you can sprinkle that over the top instead for a little more crunch.
- Blueberries โ You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, or swap the blueberries for diced strawberries.
- Buttermilk โ Donโt have buttermilk on hand? You can make your own with lemon juice and whole milk.
- Powdered Sugar โ If you want, you can skip the powdered sugar icing, but itโs so good, you really shouldnโt!
- Milk โ The icing is made with milk, but you can add a bright burst of citrus flavor by using lemon juice or orange juice instead. For a pretty pastel pink color, use ruby red grapefruit or blood orange juice.
