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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them so they maintain their shape and juices.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Prepare Glaze: While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth for the glaze.
  9. 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.
