    5-Ingredient Sweet Blueberry Drop Biscuits

    By Alisa Fleming on March 13, 2014 Bread, Breakfast, Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    These sweet blueberry drop biscuits have a wonderfully crisp crust on the outside with a soft classic biscuit texture on the inside. Unlike rolled biscuits, drop biscuits have a slightly stickier dough that can be dropped like cookies onto a baking sheet.

    5-Ingredient Sweet Blueberry Drop Biscuits - a super easy, delicious and versatile vegan recipeThis dairy-free blueberry drop biscuits recipe was shared with us by White Lily, the makers of self-rising flour, and slightly adapted.

    We’re sharing these dairy-free blueberry drop biscuits now, as inspiration for the 8 ingredient or less March Recipe Madness Contest. See what amazing things you can make with just a handful of ingredients (only 5 in these!)?

    Serves: 12 biscuits
    Ingredients
    • 2 cups self-rising flour
    • ⅓ cup sugar
    • ¼ cup dairy-free non-hydrogenated shortening, chilled
    • ⅔ to ¾ cup dairy-free milk alternative (such as coconut milk beverage), plus additional as needed
    • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, if frozen, do not thaw
    Instructions
    1. Preheat your oven to 500°F and grease a baking sheet or line it with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
    2. Combine the flour and sugar in a bowl. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or 2 knives until crumbs are the size of peas. Blend in just enough milk with a fork until dough leaves sides of bowl. If needed, add more milk to form soft dough. Gently stir in blueberries.
    3. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet 1 to 2 inches apart.
    4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
    5. Cool for 2 minutes. Split and serve warm with butter.

      Can I use butter substitute instead of the shortening??

        Yes, if you don’t need dairy-free, that should work. I would just add more flour if needed.

      There is a reason why blueberries are 3 for $3 at the supermarket- I need to hunt down that shortening though, I didn’t know Nutiva made some!

        Yes, they have a new shortening and buttery spread (reviews for both coming soon!). I recommend the shortening thus far – the buttery spread is good, and has good ingredients, but it’s not very spreadable or easy to measure (too solid and crumbly).

      Ooooh yum! I love drop biscuits because they’re so much easier than rolling out the dough, cutting it, etc…. and blueberries are so delicious!
