Buttery blueberry biscuits recipe drizzles a sweetened sticky glaze and makes for the perfect breakfast treat!!
Happy November 1st, Folks!!! When I lived in the DC area about 10 years ago, I frequented a greasy chicken spot by the name of Bojangles. Ever been? I believe they’re pretty popular in the south. They are known for their fried chicken and their delicious blueberry biscuits recipe. This blueberry biscuits recipe is super popular!!! I mean who’s ever heard of biscuits with sweet blueberries baked right in?!?!?! This blueberry biscuits recipe is SO BOMB!!!
This blueberry biscuits recipe was so popular with the family that Momma was rationing them out in her favor. Lol!! She’s already requested them again for Christmas breakfast. They are the perfect accompaniment to Will’s Southern Style Grits, Oven Roasted Rosemary Home Fries, Momma’s Wild Salmon Croquettes, and Oven Roasted Candied Bacon. What a breakfast spread that would be!!!! Whatever you do, be sure to try this blueberry biscuits recipe ASAP as they are so hard to resist!! They are pure comfort food!!
Speaking of comfort…are you searching? Just want to let you know that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob wants to be your Comforter if you’ll allow Him. Won’t you let Him in? He sent His Son, Jesus just for you! Pray this simple prayer, “Dear Heavenly Father, I am a sinner. Forgive me for my sins Lord. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son and that He died for my sins and You raised Him from the dead. I want to invite Him into my heart to take control of my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” Say Grace and enjoy!
Glazed Blueberry Biscuits Recipe {Bojangles Copycat}
Ingredients
- Glaze:
- 1 c. powdered sugar
- 3 T. whole milk
- ½ tsp. Say Grace Vanilla Extract
- Biscuits:
- 2 c. all-purpose Flour I used Lilly White
- 1 T. baking powder
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- 3 T. sugar
- 1 stick butter unsalted
- ¾ c. buttermilk
- 1 c. frozen blueberries
- milk for brushing
- ½ stick melted butter salted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine all glaze ingredients and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
- Make the biscuits: In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until the butter is about pea sized.
- Slowly add buttermilk and using a fork, stir until just combined.
- Sprinkle your prepared kneading area with some flour. Place the sticky dough on the floured area and sprinkle with more flour.
- Roll the dough out and flatten to about 1/2″ thickness. Sprinkle more flour, if needed.
- Pour the blueberries onto the dough. Fold the dough over (sprinkle more flour, if needed) and gently knead it a couple of times and roll back out to about 1″ thickness. Sprinkle more flour, if really sticky.
- Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits.
- Place biscuits in a buttered 10 inch cast-iron skillet making sure biscuits are touching. Brush with milk to help them brown.
- Bake at 475F for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, brush with melted butter liberally. Place back in the oven for 5 minutes more.
- Once done, pour the glaze over the biscuits. Serve immediately. Say Grace and enjoy!

I would love trying fried chicken and these delicious blueberry biscuits!
You’ll love them Patty!!
Ok, I’m from the South but have never had these blueberry biscuits — WTH? Slap yo’ Momma — these look amazing! Attach directly to my thighs!
Thanks Lisa! They are superb!!!
OMG these look amazing. Saving this recipe for Florida blueberry season!
Thanks Ellen! Enjoy!!
I never heard about biscuits with blueberries, but I really like this idea. I have to try this recipe asap.
Certainly Edyta! You’ll love them!! 🙂
I’ve never been to Bojangles before, but I’m pretty sure your blueberry biscuits must me a million more times better than anything you can get there. These look awesome!
Homemade is always best!!! Thanks so much!!
Felesha, these biscuits look awesome! However, I would suggest making a triple batch; eat one batch with breakfast, and turn the other two into a scrumptious bread pudding, with the addition of a custard, for dessert; and double your pleasure.
Lol!! Yes, a triple batch is definitely in order!! Love the bread pudding idea, Kelly! 🙂
Just made these and they were incredible! Turned out perfect. Soft and fluffy! I will definitely be making again.
So glad that you enjoyed them as much as I do Katie!!!
Just made these, and they turned out wonderful! I didn’t use buttermilk because I did not have any on hand. Just used whole milk, and they are still super delicious sweet biscuits! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
So glad you enjoyed them Maureen!!
I’m very interested in making this recipe but do not own a skillet! Can you please advise if I can still make these work another type of baking pan? Also, would adding some lemon zest compliment these in any way? Thanks so much for your help!
Hi Shae! You can use a baking sheet. Hope you enjoy!
I just made these in a 12″ skillet but it was a little big. What size skillet should I use? These are fantastic!!! Thank you so much for the recipe!
I use a 10 inch skillet. I’ll update the recipe. Glad you enjoy them as much as we do!! 🙂
Just made two batches of these today, one for taste-testing, the other I plan to freeze and cook on Tuesday morning for coffee at my mother-in-law’s house. The biscuits are delicious! I used milk/vinegar to substitute for the buttermilk, and the fresh blueberries came from my MIL’s bushes. I will definitely be making these again, my kids loved them! And I was looking for a cinnamon raisin biscuit recipe, so I’m going to add cinnamon and raisin to these and see what I get (was looking for Popeyes recipes from back in the 1980’s, they used to serve blueberry and cinnamon raisin biscuits when my sister worked there during high school :P) Thanks for the great recipe!
I love these biscuits so much! Oooooh, Cinnamon Raisan Biscuits sound fantastic! Let me know how they turn out for you!
Really delicious, thank you for the recipe! I used wild blueberries, and adding the blueberries to the dough was a challenge so I ended up adding to the buttermilk instead. Really impressive dish to share.
the biscuits are amazing!
Glad you enjoyed them!
Ok, so this is my birthday weekend and I wasn’t planning on cooking ANYTHING. I woke up with a taste for blueberry biscuits and had planned to visit a local bakery to pick some up however, the weather had other plans for me. I am unable to drive anywhere because of it. So I decided to make them! I found your recipe and just finished making them. Talking about delicious!!!! I am extremely happy that things turned out the way they did forcing me to cook because your recipe is the bomb!!! Thanks SO much for sharing!!!
