  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients & Fat

  • 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)

Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1/8 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Grate or cut the cold or frozen butter into small pieces. Add to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, which creates a tender biscuit texture.
  4. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or dried blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them and to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Add Milk & Form Dough: Pour in the cold milk and gently stir just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits fluffy and tender.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into about a 1-inch thick rectangle or round shape. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or the rim of a glass.
  7. Bake Biscuits: Place the cut biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  8. Prepare Glaze: While the biscuits are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth to create a sweet, tangy glaze.
  9. Glaze & Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly once out of the oven. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm biscuits. Serve fresh and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet blueberry and vanilla-lemon flavors.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix the dough to ensure fluffy, tender biscuits.
  • You can use fresh or dried blueberries; if dried, consider soaking briefly in warm water for plumper texture.
  • Ensure butter is very cold or frozen for best texture when cutting into flour.
  • The glaze can be adjusted in thickness by adding more powdered sugar or water as needed.
  • Serve biscuits warm for optimal flavor and texture.
