Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/2 cup blueberries

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir to ensure the baking powder and salt are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
3. Cut in the Butter: Add 6 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for creating a flaky texture in the biscuits.
4. Incorporate Milk and Blueberries: Pour in 3/4 cup of milk and add 1/2 cup of blueberries to the flour mixture. Gently stir until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
5. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it is cohesive. Pat the dough out to a thickness of about 1 inch.
6. Cut Out Biscuits: Use a circular cutter or a glass to cut out biscuit shapes from the dough. Gently press the cutter straight down without twisting to ensure the biscuits rise evenly.
7. Prepare for Baking: Place the cut-out biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are a lovely golden brown.
