Ingredients

  • 4 cups blueberries
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

For the biscuits:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated white sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp butter ice cold
  • 1 cup cream or milk

Instructions

To make the filling:

  • Add the blueberries, water, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, butter, and salt to a large skillet with a tightly fitting lid.
  • Simmer the blueberries on low heat for about 15 minutes or until thickened.

To make the biscuits:

  • Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Blend well.
  • Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs.
  • Add the cream, mixing well with a fork.

To finish:

  • Once the blueberry mixture has thickened, drop spoonfuls of biscuit batter to the top of the blueberry mixture. I aim for 8 biscuits.
  • Pop the lid on and turn the heat to low, so that the mixture is gently simmering. Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked in the center.
  • Enjoy!
