Baking Pan
- 2 cups bread flour or all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cold, cubed salted butter
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 3/4 cup 2% milk or buttermilk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup frozen blueberries or fresh blueberries
Lemon Glaze
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Blueberry Biscuits
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs the size of peas.
In a small bowl, combine the wet ingredients into the bowl. Gradually pour the wet ingredients with the dry and gently mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon just until the dough starts to come together. The dough will be sticky and lumpy.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Using a large spoon, or a 2” ice cream scoop, drop mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave 2 inches of space between each biscuit.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly golden on the tops.
Lemon Glaze
While the biscuits are baking, mix lemon juice and powdered sugar together.
Once the biscuits are finished baking, allow them to cool slightly, perhaps on a wire rack or a separate plate.
Using a spoon drizzle the glaze over the biscuits before serving.
