Ingredients
Scale
- 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 your oven to 425°F (220°C). 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 looks like coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Pour in the cold milk and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix, or your biscuits won’t be as fluffy.
- 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 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: In a small bowl, whisk together the 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
- For best results, use cold ingredients and avoid overmixing the dough.
- If you don’t have fresh blueberries, dried or frozen blueberries work great—just toss frozen berries in a bit of flour to prevent bleeding.
- Be gentle when mixing and shaping the dough. Overworking it leads to tough biscuits.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute plant-based butter and your favorite non-dairy milk.
- Don’t skip the glaze! It adds a vibrant, tangy finish that really makes these biscuits shine.
- Trouble with flat biscuits? Make sure your baking powder is fresh and handle the dough minimally.
