  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1 pint blueberries
    • 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
    • 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 tablespoon plus a pinch of granulated sugar
    • Kosher salt
    • 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
    • 2 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk
    • 12 almond slivers
    • 1 cup vanilla nonfat yogurt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Combine the blueberries with the superfine sugar and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, pinch of sugar, and pinch of salt. With a pastry blender or fork, fold in the butter, mixing until it resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and blend with a fork just until combined.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough into a 4-inch square. (It should be about 1/2 inch thick.) Cut 4 biscuits with a 2-inch cutter. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, sprinkle with sugar, and top each with 3 almond slivers. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden.
  5. Cut the biscuits in half. Add the yogurt to the blueberries and stir to combine. Place a quarter of the berries on top of one half of each biscuit, and top with the other biscuit halves.
