Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 cup berries (fresh or frozen)
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk (add by the teaspoon)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9 by 9 inch baking pan (or a 10 inch round skillet or pie dish) with nonstick spray to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar thoroughly.
- Cut in Butter and Add Berries: Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter to cut it in until you have pea-sized flour-coated bits of butter. Then stir in the berries, ensuring they are coated with flour to prevent sinking during baking.
- Add Milk and Vanilla: Measure 3/4 cup whole milk and stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually pour this milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring as you go until a sticky dough forms.
- Drop the Dough: Using a spring-loaded scoop (about 1/4 cup) or two large spoons, drop dollops of the biscuit dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, making nine biscuits in total.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, until the biscuits are fluffy and just beginning to turn golden on top.
- Cool: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes before applying the glaze.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Add extra milk by the teaspoon as needed until the glaze is thin enough to run off a fork in a continuous ribbon.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cooled biscuits and serve immediately. These biscuits keep for up to three days at room temperature, though the glaze may soften when covered.
Notes
- If you love buttery, flaky homemade biscuits with a sweet and tart berry flavor, these Glazed Berry Drop Biscuits are perfect for you.
- Use fresh or frozen berries depending on availability; if using frozen, do not thaw before mixing to prevent excess moisture.
- For a more delicate glaze, add milk gradually to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
