These Sweet Blueberry Biscuits are tender, buttery, and packed with juicy blueberries. Topped with a tangy lemon glaze, they’re the perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack!
Ingredients
- For the Biscuits:
- - 2 cups all-purpose flour
- - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- - 1 tablespoon baking powder
- - 1/2 teaspoon salt
- - 1/2 cup 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
- - 2/3 cup buttermilk plus more for brushing
- - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- - 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries do not thaw if frozen
- For the Lemon Glaze:
- - 1 cup powdered sugar
- - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- - Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Gradually pour this into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the dough.
- Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, re-rolling scraps as needed.
- Bake: Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with buttermilk. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the biscuits are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth.
- Glaze the Biscuits: Once the biscuits are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the tops. Serve warm and enjoy!
