Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cold milk
- 5 tablespoons cold or frozen butter, grated or cut into small pieces
Blueberries
- 3 ounces fresh or dried blueberries
Glaze Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/8 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening and flavor.
- Incorporate Butter: Grate or cut the cold or frozen butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them so they maintain their shape and juices.
- Add Milk and Form Dough: Pour in the cold milk and gently stir just until the dough starts to come together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender and fluffy.
- Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it out to about 1-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or glass rim.
- Bake: Place the biscuits slightly apart on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare Glaze: While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth for the glaze.
- Glaze and Serve: Let the biscuits cool slightly after baking, then drizzle the glaze generously over the warm biscuits. Serve fresh and enjoy.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for best texture; if using dried, soak briefly in warm water to plump before adding.
- Keep butter cold or frozen to achieve flaky biscuit layers.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
- For a richer flavor, substitute milk with buttermilk.
- The glaze adds sweetness and moisture but can be omitted if preferred.
- Biscuits are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
