These pull-apart Amish Friendship Bread Blueberry Cream Biscuits are heavenly, especially when served with a dollop of blueberry sauce and clotted cream.
Yum.
I’m not someone who uses the word yum, at least not very often, but there’s no other to way express my utter delight over the latest Amish Friendship Bread variation to come out of the Friendship Bread Kitchen.
These pull-apart blueberry cream Amish Friendship Bread biscuits are insanely good. Better yet, they’re easy to make. Pair it with a blueberry sauce or clotted cream and you’ll be rolling in yum.
I used frozen organic blueberries, which I thawed and drained, and then patted dry with a paper towel to make sure no extra liquid was added to the recipe.
I don’t always toss my add-ins (like berries, dried fruit, nuts or baking chips) with flour, but this is one recipe where it helps to do this. You’ll use the flour mixture from the recipe, which makes it even easier.
The dough was sticky, which is usually the case with most bread recipes using Amish Friendship Bread starter, but an extra half cup of flour on hand will help take care of that.
Once the dough comes together, transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Shape the dough into a square, about 8″ wide and about 1″ inch thick.
With a lightly floured knife or pizza cutter, divide the dough into squares, cutting all the way through but not separating the dough completely. This way the biscuits stay together but are easy to pull apart after they bake.
Slide the baking sheet into a preheated 425° F (218° C) oven on the top rack and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops and edges are crisp and a golden brown. While you’re waiting you can make this super easy blueberry sauce or try this clotted cream recipe.
Now get ready for yum. And they tasted even better the next day — just pop them in the toaster for a couple of minutes.

They tasted really good, but mine turned out pretty dense. Are they supposed to be heavier, or flaky like a biscuit?
Hi! I’m wondering if you have a calorie chart to go along with your recipes. I’m on a weight loss plan and we work on a calorie budget. It would be good to know how many calories are in a serving of the different baking.
I do enjoy the Amish bread and if I can know the calories in it I may not be tempted to eat more than I should!!
Thanks
Audrey

The recipe mentions sugar in the instructions but there is no amount given for sugar! Is this a typo!?
It says 2 Tbs sugar in the ingredient list.
I would love to make this for Mother’s Day!
Yum! These wereover the top, with the clotted cream and blueberry sauce.
agree this would be great to make for mothers day
Thanks Kristin! Yes, added — 2 tablespoons.
This was yuuum!
The flavor was wonderful (5 stars) and the directions for mixing are easy to follow. I found that the interior was raw after 25 minutes and after pulling off the outside biscuits, I rebaked the cooled center clump, covered with foil, for another 25 minutes to bake it through. Next time I would use a lower temperature and longer initial bake.
Thanks for sharing, Jessica! You may have to tweak depending on how wet your dough is (ie if you added berries that had been recently rinsed but not completed patted dry).
