A History of Blueberry Biscuits

Biscuits have been a breakfast staple for decades, made famous in the 1800s when ingredients were scarce. Initially, many biscuits contained cornmeal and were called “johnny-jump-cakes.” By the 19th century, flour took over, giving us the light and fluffy biscuit dough we know and love with all purpose flour. 

In the 20th century, chefs began to experiment with the base biscuit recipe, adding raisins, chopped apples, and berries. In this recipe, combining butter biscuit batter with juicy blueberries gives you the best of both worlds. Other restaurant chains have jumped on the sweet biscuit train, including Hardee’s, whose cinnamon raisin biscuit has been a fan favorite for years. 

Biscuits are a worldwide phenomenon, but each country has its own take. In the U.K., biscuits are the equivalent of American cookies. The closest thing they have to a biscuit is a scone, which has just as many customization options as a biscuit. 

Biscuits are especially prevalent in the American South, often served with a savory or chocolate gravy. You’ll also find biscuits as a primary ingredient in many fast-food breakfast sandwiches.

How to Make Bojangles BoBerry Biscuit Recipe

Here’s how to make a batch of Copycat Bojangles BoBerry Biscuits. 

Step One: Whisk the Dry Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 400℉. Whisk together the self-rising flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. 

Step Two: Cut in the Butter

Add the butter to the dry ingredients and stir until the flour mixture has pea-sized pebbles. 

Step Three: Add Wet Ingredients

Add the buttermilk and egg, mixing until incorporated. Gently fold in the blueberries. 

Step Four: Bake the Copycat Bojangles BoBerry Biscuits

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Flour your workspace and dump the dough onto the table. Knead the dough with your hands or rolling pin on a lightly floured surface and form it into a 1 ½-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or pastry cutter to create the biscuits, placing them on the prepared pan. 

Whisk the egg yolk in a small bowl, then brush over the tops of the biscuits to give it a golden brown appearance. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the tops of the biscuits are browned. Let cool for 10 minutes before glazing. 

Step Five: Add Texture with the Glaze

While the biscuits cool, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and cream in a small bowl with a spatula. Transfer the glaze to a piping bag and drizzle over the tops of the cooled biscuits at room temperature. Enjoy the delicious Bojangles flavors!
