How to make blueberry buttermilk biscuits:

Add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in blueberries. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead 4 or 5 times. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Combine butter and remaining ingredients, stirring well. Brush on warm biscuits. Yield: 15 biscuits.
