Cristina's Blueberry-Orange Biscuits

I love Bisquick so I am always trying to look for new recipes. I came up with this one after thinking about how yummy the savory biscuits that I make are but I needed a sweet version. This is the one that passed my husband and twins test without any hesitation.

1 1/2 cups Bisquick Mix
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
Grated orange rind of 1 1/2 medium-size oranges
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze:

3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

Optional:

1 teaspoon poppy seeds for batter and 1/8 teaspoon for glaze

Mix the Bisquick mix and sugar. Add the milk, grated orange rind and vanilla and combine well.

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Meanwhile, greased a baking sheet with some butter.

Add the blueberries to the batter folding them in very carefully to avoid too much staining. Fresh blueberries work better for this but if you use frozen ones it is fine, the biscuits will be yummy no matter what.

Make mounds of batter on the baking sheet trying to leave the blueberries on top or inside the batter not at the bottom.

Bake for 12-14 minutes depending on the size of the biscuits. Remove them from the baking sheet to a wire rack and glace them when they are still a little warm.


Makes 10-12 medium-size biscuits


Note: If using the poppy seeds, add them to the batter when combining with the milk and remaining ingredients.

For the glaze, add them to the sugar before adding the orange juice.
