Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup cold butter, cubed
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- Lemon glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in buttermilk and lemon zest until just combined.
- Gently fold in blueberries.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Cut into 8 biscuits and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until tall and golden.
- Whisk glaze ingredients and drizzle over slightly cooled biscuits.
Notes
- Keep butter very cold and handle the dough gently for extra flaky layers.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw to prevent color bleed; fold gently to avoid crushing berries.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat briefly before serving.
- Glaze should be applied to biscuits when they are slightly cooled for best adherence.
