Description
Blueberry Biscuits combine fluffy, buttery biscuits with juicy blueberries and a tangy lemon glaze. They’re the perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or a snack, offering a sweet and citrusy flavor with every bite.
Ingredients
2 cups All-purpose flour
4 teaspoons Baking powder
1/3 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Cold milk
5 tablespoons Cold or frozen butter, grated or cut into small pieces
3 ounces Fresh or dried blueberries (gently folded into the dough)
1 cup Powdered sugar
1/8 cup Water
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Grate or cut the cold (or frozen) butter into small pieces. Add it to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Pour in the cold milk and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it out to about 1-inch thickness, then cut out biscuits using a round cutter or the rim of a glass.
- Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Let the biscuits cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze generously over the warm biscuits. Serve fresh and enjoy!
Notes
Add a mix of blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a berry medley in every bite.
For an extra citrus burst, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough.
To make these biscuits vegan, use plant-based butter and dairy-free milk.
Sprinkle a cinnamon sugar topping before baking for a sweet, spiced crust.
