Country Blueberry Biscuits

These country blueberry biscuits are literally so delicious and easy to make. I feel like these are really the old-fashioned way to make cathead biscuits. Instead of butter, you’ll use shortening then mix together your flour, baking soda, sugar, and of course buttermilk. Knead them all together with some frozen blueberries into balls and bake them in a skillet with some melted butter for about 20 minutes until golden brown. These are the perfect breakfast or perfect for even just a snack.

Notes

Blueberries:
I like to use frozen blueberries because they will hold up better while working the dough. You can use fresh but remember they may make a mess.
