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.
This dairy-free blueberry drop biscuits recipe was shared with us by White Lily, the makers of self-rising flour, and slightly adapted.

- Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet 1 to 2 inches apart.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool for 2 minutes. Split and serve warm with butter.

What if I don’t have self rising flour?
Recipe sounds super:)
Here’s a good quick recipe for self-rising flour -> http://allrecipes.com/recipe/149310/self-rising-flour/
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!
These look good. I’m going to make them for breakfast this Sunday morning. Thanks for the recipe!
Fabulous! I hope that you enjoy them!
Perfect for summer! I love blueberries!
