Description

These fluffy blueberry biscuits are a delightful treat perfect for breakfast or any time of day. Made with fresh or dried blueberries folded into a tender biscuit dough and topped with a sweet vanilla-lemon glaze, they offer a perfect balance of buttery richness and fruity brightness. Quick to prepare and bake, these biscuits are ideal for serving warm and fresh from the oven.

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)
  • 3 ounces Fresh or dried blueberries (Gently folded into the dough)

Glaze

  • 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 prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and flavor components.
  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 your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring flaky biscuits.
  4. Add Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or dried blueberries into the mixture, taking care not to crush them to keep pockets of juicy blueberry in the biscuits.
  5. Add Milk and Form Dough: Pour in the cold milk and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light and fluffy biscuit texture.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it out to about 1-inch thickness. Cut the dough into rounds using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass.
  7. Bake: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet spaced slightly apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown and biscuits are cooked through.
  8. Prepare Glaze: While biscuits bake, whisk together powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and glossy.
  9. Glaze and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly after baking, then drizzle the vanilla-lemon glaze generously over the warm biscuits. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh flavors.

Notes

  • Use cold or frozen butter to achieve flaky biscuit layers.
  • Be gentle when folding in blueberries to avoid bleeding color throughout the dough.
  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain biscuit tenderness.
  • Use fresh or dried blueberries based on availability; fresh will provide juicier pockets of fruit.
  • The glaze adds a subtle sweet and citrus flavor that complements the berries fantastically.
