Now that I have the family Drop Biscuit recipe down pat. I can't help but experiment a little. This weekend I decided to sweeten the recipe up by adding a little sugar and some fruit. I used some blueberries from my freezer. It worked beautifully! These biscuits have just a hint of sweetness. They are not sweet like a blueberry muffin, they are more like a scone. Delicious just plain, no need for butter. They are great hot from the oven or at room temperature. I did notice that they browned a little faster. Any raised pieces of dough will get dark. So the second time I made them I patted down any peaks in the dough and that help them brown evenly. I am really excited about how this worked out. I can't wait to try some other fruits in this recipe. I have several flavor combinations in mind all ready. Be sure to come back for something "peachy" real soon.

I've always loved drop biscuits. My grandpa made them for me when I was growing up. Never thought to use add-ins and blueberries are one of my favorite fruits.
