Ingredients
for the blueberry filling:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
for the orange biscuit puffs:
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- zest of 1 orange
- ¼ cup cold unsalted butter cut into 1/2" cubes
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly spray a 9"x9" pan with tall sides with cooking spray. Set aside.
- For the blueberry filling: Place blueberries in a medium bowl. Add orange juice and vanilla, and then fold to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle over the blueberries and fold to combine. Set aside.
- For the orange biscuit puffs: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest. Add butter and cut in with a rigid pastry blender or two forks until butter is distributed evenly and forms large crumb-like pieces.
- In a small bowl, stir together milk and orange juice. Add to flour mixture and stir until just combined.
- Give the blueberry mixture a good stir to incorporate the accumulated juices and then pour mixture into prepared pan. With a large spoon, scoop up orange biscuit dough and place 9 dollops of dough across the top of the blueberry mixture. The biscuits will spread a bit while baking. Sprinkle with course sugar.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the blueberry mixture is bubbling and the biscuits are nicely browned. Let cool for 15 minutes. Serve with a splash of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
