Preheat your oven<\/strong><br data-start=\"1327\" data-end=\"1330\" \/>Set your oven to 425\u00b0F (220\u00b0C). If you\u2019re camping, preheat a Dutch oven or campfire-safe baking setup.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1434\" data-end=\"1554\"><strong data-start=\"1434\" data-end=\"1464\">2. Combine dry ingredients<\/strong><br data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1467\" \/>In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1556\" data-end=\"1743\"><strong data-start=\"1556\" data-end=\"1577\">3. Add the butter<\/strong><br data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1580\" \/>Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits of butter still visible.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1745\" data-end=\"1831\"><strong data-start=\"1745\" data-end=\"1771\">4. Fold in blueberries<\/strong><br data-start=\"1771\" data-end=\"1774\" \/>Gently stir in the blueberries, trying not to crush them.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1833\" data-end=\"1974\"><strong data-start=\"1833\" data-end=\"1858\">5. Add the buttermilk<\/strong><br data-start=\"1858\" data-end=\"1861\" \/>Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. The dough should be shaggy but hold together. Don\u2019t overmix.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1976\" data-end=\"2200\"><strong data-start=\"1976\" data-end=\"2007\">6. Shape and fold the dough<\/strong><br data-start=\"2007\" data-end=\"2010\" \/>Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle, then fold it into thirds like a letter. Turn the dough and repeat the folding 2-3 more times to create flaky layers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2202\" data-end=\"2360\"><strong data-start=\"2202\" data-end=\"2225\">7. Cut the biscuits<\/strong><br data-start=\"2225\" data-end=\"2228\" \/>Pat the dough to about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out rounds. Avoid twisting the cutter to ensure even rise.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2362\" data-end=\"2509\"><strong data-start=\"2362\" data-end=\"2384\">8. Prepare to bake<\/strong><br data-start=\"2384\" data-end=\"2387\" \/>Place biscuits on a lined baking sheet. For softer sides, place them close together. For crispier edges, space them apart.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2511\" data-end=\"2663\"><strong data-start=\"2511\" data-end=\"2532\">9. Brush and bake<\/strong><br data-start=\"2532\" data-end=\"2535\" \/>Brush the tops with buttermilk or cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2665\" data-end=\"2808\"><strong data-start=\"2665\" data-end=\"2683\">10. Serve warm<\/strong><br data-start=\"2683\" data-end=\"2686\" \/>These are best served warm, fresh out of the oven. Add a smear of butter, honey, or a light glaze if you\u2019re feeling fancy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1745\" data-end=\"1831\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder \u00bd teaspoon baking soda 2 tablespoons granulated sugar \u00bd teaspoon salt&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5989,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Flaky Blueberry Buttermilk Biscuits - Grandma Baking Recipes","description":"Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder \u00bd teaspoon baking soda 2 tablespoons granulated sugar \u00bd teaspoon salt \u00bd cup (1 stick) unsalted b"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5988"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5988\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5990,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5988\/revisions\/5990"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/breckas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
