Tips to Make Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits
- Make sure your butter is very cold when you cut it in; this helps create flaky layers in the biscuits.

Variation
You can change the flavor by using different fruits like raspberries or strawberries instead of blueberries. Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon can also enhance the taste.
