Blueberry Biscuits



This morning I had a rare treat - first one to wake up, so I had a little time to myself. Those moments are few and far between these days, so I try to take advantage of them to catch up on reading or honestly, more often than not, to catch up on Trivia Crack or Kwazy Kupcakes. 

Anyway, we have some friends who have generously shared their blueberry harvest with us. This is great... But we STILL have gallons of their blueberry bounty in our freezer from last year's crop. The trouble with most blueberry recipes is that they only call for one cup at a time. If you're trying to use up your blueberry stash, one cup doesn't make much of a dent!

So this morning, there I was, in the early hours of Saturday morning, with about 4 gallons of blueberries staring at me from the freezer. I decided that using one cup is better than nothing! Now, the Maddox girls don't usually like "sweets" for breakfast - if I'm choosing between biscuits and gravy and cinnamon rolls, it's biscuits and gravy EVERY TIME. 

So, I decided to make a non-sweet biscuit, then added some blueberries and a light lemon-vanilla glaze. The result? Definitely Maddox-girl approved! Even Mom asked for a second helping! 

So... Here's the recipe:

Blueberry Biscuits

1 package Bisquick Complete buttermilk biscuit mix -or- 2 c Bisquick 

1/2 c water

1 c frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 425. Mix Bisquick, water and blueberries til combined. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray (Pam or crisco), then drop spoonfuls of blueberry mixture 2-3 inches apart on sheet. Makes 6 large biscuits or 8-10 medium biscuits. Bake 9-11 minutes or til golden brown. 

Lemon-Vanilla glaze

1/2 c confectioners sugar
