Sunday, my most loved/hated day. Things like meal planning, laundry, prepping school lunches and that dreaded trip to the grocery store plague me every week on this day. On the other hand it’s past noon, I’m eating one of these biscuits in my pj’s and I’ve just received an invite for dinner at my parents house. Score!
I had cream puffs in mind when making these but they’re definitely more a biscuit texture so I’ve renamed them and deemed them breakfast. Sometimes things just work out for the best.
Blueberry biscuits
Serves: 10 bicuits
Ingredients
Bicuits
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup cold butter, cubed

For the filling
