Grandma’s Blueberry Glazed Biscuits

I know that I am not alone when I say I miss my Grandma. Not just because I loved her, but because she made so many great foods! Those recipes are almost impossible to replicate. See, Grandma never wrote her recipes down, you either learned them while watching her cook or, like me, you try to figure out each ingredient.

One of the foods I really loved, and sure wish I had learned when I had the chance was Grandma’s Blueberry Glazed Biscuits.

After years of trying, it appears, according to my Dad, that I nailed it! I figured out the recipe. Let me tell you, I was looking for some type of difficulty in the recipe.

These Blueberry Glazed Biscuits had to have been difficult to make, they tasted scrumptious. Well, contrary to my belief, the biscuits are quite simple to make.

These biscuits are the perfect breakfast food, they make a great bedtime snack or in the afternoon with tea or coffee.
