Ingredients Needed :
For the Biscuits:
- 2 ¼ cups gluten-free 1:1 flour
- 8 tablespoons cold butter
- 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 21 ounces blueberry pie filling (canned or homemade)
For the Glaze:
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice or milk
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
Ingredient Notes
- Cold butter: Essential for creating flaky, tender biscuits.
- Buttermilk: Adds moisture and slight tang; helps activate leavening.
- Blueberry pie filling: Saves time and delivers consistent flavor.
- Gluten-free flour: Works perfectly here, but regular flour can also be used if preferred.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Use regular all-purpose flour instead of gluten-free flour if desired
- Swap buttermilk with milk + 1 teaspoon vinegar
- Try cherry, apple, or peach pie filling instead of blueberry
- Add nuts like walnuts or almonds for extra crunch
- Use milk instead of lemon juice for a sweeter glaze
How to Make It :
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Brush a 9-inch cast iron skillet or 7×10 baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk everything together until evenly mixed.
Step 3: Cut in the Butter
Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
Step 4: Add Buttermilk
Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
Step 5: Chill the Dough
Place the dough in the freezer for 20 minutes. This helps create better texture and structure.
Step 6: Shape the Biscuits
Remove the dough from the freezer. Use a large ice cream scoop to form 6 large biscuits and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Step 7: Add Blueberry Filling
Spoon the blueberry pie filling evenly over the biscuits.
Step 8: Bake
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9: Prepare the Glaze
In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice or milk until smooth.
Step 10: Glaze and Serve
Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Pro Tips for Perfect Results
- Keep butter cold to ensure flaky biscuits
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid dense texture
- Freeze dough for better structure and rise

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overmixing the dough, which makes biscuits tough

Serving Suggestions + Easy Variations :
Serve these biscuits warm straight from the oven for the best experience. They pair beautifully with coffee, tea, or a glass of milk.
For variations, try swapping the blueberry filling with cherry, apple, or peach. You can also add chopped nuts for texture or a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for a warm spice twist. For an extra indulgent version, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Make Ahead + Storage Tips
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
- Reheat in the oven at 300°F for best texture

- Prepare dough ahead and refrigerate overnight
- Add glaze fresh after reheating for best results
