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, gently folded into the dough
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 prevent the biscuits from sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Add butter: Grate or cut the cold or frozen butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or dried blueberries, being careful not to crush them to keep their shape and juiciness.
- Add milk and form dough: Pour the cold milk into the mixture and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to maintain fluffy biscuits.
- Shape biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat it out to about 1-inch thickness, then use a round cutter or glass rim to cut out biscuit shapes.
- Bake biscuits: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet spacing them apart slightly. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown.
- Make glaze: While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth to prepare the glaze.
- Glaze and serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly after baking, then drizzle the glaze generously over the warm biscuits. Serve fresh and enjoy!
Notes
- Use cold or frozen butter for the best flaky biscuit texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to ensure fluffiness.
- Fresh blueberries can be substituted with dried blueberries if fresh are unavailable.
- Glaze can be adjusted for thickness by adding a little more water or powdered sugar.
- These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
