Blueberry Biscuits
These make a wonderfully flat, sweet biscuit, best served with a touch of butter while they are still warm. You can roll these out and use a biscuit cutter, but I prefer to gently cut them and form into circles to avoid smashing all the plump berries.
Ingredients

- Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly.
- Combine egg and buttermilk, add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
