🫐 Blueberry Cinnamon Crunch Biscuits combine fresh wild blueberries with a crunchy cinnamon sugar crust for a delightful breakfast or snack.
🍯 Paired with whipped vanilla bean butter and a drizzle of honey, these biscuits offer rich flavors and a perfectly flaky texture without complicated preparation.

  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 12-16 biscuits

Ingredients

– 2 cups sourdough starter discard provides natural fermentation and flavor depth

– 2 cups all-purpose flour the base structure for the cathead biscuits

– 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar adds the signature crunchy spice topping

– 1 cup fresh blueberries offers sweetness and antioxidant benefits

– 1 teaspoon baking powder helps the biscuits rise

– 1 teaspoon salt enhances flavor balance

– 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed creates flaky layers

– 1 stick unsalted butter for whipped salted vanilla bean butter whipped with vanilla bean seeds and a pinch of salt to add rich, creamy flavor

– Cake flour for adding a tender texture

– Granulated sugar for sweetness in the dough

– Baking soda for helping with rising

– Salted butter as an alternative for richness

– Buttermilk for moisture and tang

– Fresh or frozen blueberries for more bursts of flavor

– Brown sugar for extra sweetness and crunch

– Cinnamon for warm spice notes

– Vanilla bean paste for aromatic vanilla flavor in the butter

– Honey or raw honeycomb to drizzle and enhance taste

– Flaky sea salt to finish with a salty crunch

Instructions

1-Start by preheating your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and lining your baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter discard, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon sugar, and salt, mixing until just combined to keep the dough light. Gently fold in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers, which helps create those desirable flaky layers as directed.

2-Next, carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to distribute them evenly without breaking them, preventing color bleeding for a visually appealing result. Use a large spoon or scoop to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming rustic cathead shapes that require no rolling or cutting for simplicity. Sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar generously on top to achieve that signature crunchy crust, then space the scoops slightly apart to allow for expansion and crisp edges.

3-Bake the biscuits until the tops turn deeply golden brown, ensuring they are fully cooked inside for optimal texture; this typically takes 15-18 minutes but adjust based on your oven. While the biscuits bake, whip the salted vanilla bean butter until it’s light and fluffy, incorporating vanilla flavors as specified. Serve the warm biscuits topped with the whipped butter, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for the full experience, adapting with Gigabit vegan or gluten-free options as needed.
