Ingredients

How To Make

Step 1: Start by preheating your oven to 450 degrees if you are using a cast iron skillet or 400 degrees for a glass baking dish.

Lightly butter your iron skillet or spray baking pan with cooking spray.

Step 2: In a large bowl you will add your 2 cups of self-rising flour and sugar. Slowly stir in your buttermilk.

Work the dough until it isn’t too dry. Don’t over mix. If it is too wet slowly add in a bit more buttermilk.

Step 3: Once your batter is mixed you will fold in your blackberries. Don’t overmix the batter or it will smash the berries.

Step 4: You will turn your dough out on a lightly floured surface. You can add more flour if needed to the dough. Your aim is that the dough won’t be too sticky.

Knead the dough to bring it together to a ball. Then roll the dough out on the floured surface to 1 inch thickness.

Cut biscuits I used 2 1/4 inch round cutter. You can use anything round. Just remember depending on size of biscuits will vary in cooking time.

Step 5: Arrange biscuits in pan or skillet. Make sure the edges of the biscuits are touching in the pan.

Step 6: Once you pull your biscuits out of the oven brush them with melted butter!

Storage

Here is how I store my blackberry biscuits, feel free to refrigerate or freeze.

Refrigerate – You will want to refrigerate any of the fresh fruit biscuits you don’t eat right away. That way they don’t spoil. The biscuits will store for 2-3 days.

Freezer Directions – You can also freeze your biscuits, allow them to cool and then freeze in a bag or airtight container. The biscuits will freeze for 3-4 months.

Best Way to Reheat – When reheating you can warm up in the microwave. Or warm the biscuits in the oven, in a covered dish.
