- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt

- ¾ cup cold buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
For Brushing (Optional):

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually stir in buttermilk and vanilla (if using) until just combined, do not overmix.
- Gently fold in blueberries.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, shape into a rectangle, and fold it over itself twice to create layers.
