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

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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Grate or cut the cold or frozen butter into small pieces. Add it to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or dried blueberries, taking care not to crush them to keep the biscuits light and bursting with fruit flavor.
  5. Add Milk and Form Dough: Pour in the cold milk and gently stir the mixture until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy biscuits.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a round cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuit shapes.
  7. Bake Biscuits: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown.
  8. Prepare Glaze: While biscuits bake, whisk together powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  9. Glaze and Serve: Once baked, let the biscuits cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze generously over the warm biscuits. Serve fresh and enjoy!

Notes

  • For best results, use cold ingredients including cold milk and cold butter to achieve flaky texture.
  • Avoid overmixing the dough to keep biscuits light and fluffy.
  • You can substitute fresh blueberries with dried if fresh are unavailable, but fresh is preferred for best flavor and texture.
  • If desired, brush biscuits with melted butter before baking for extra richness.
  • Serve biscuits warm to enjoy the full flavor of the glaze.
