Make the Biscuit Dough

  1. Whisk the baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and flour in the large bowl until thoroughly combined.
  2. Add the chilled butter pieces to the flour mixture.
  3. Smash the butter between your fingers until you have flat, irregular pieces coated with flour.
  4. Add the rinsed blueberries and toss them with the flour-butter mixture using a rubber spatula.

Pan and Bake
