Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 5 tablespoons cold butter
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3/4 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Rub or cut in the cold butter using your fingers, a fork, or pastry cutter until the mixture looks like soft crumbs.
- In a small bowl, stir together the milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently just until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in the blueberries carefully so they stay mostly whole.
- Drop rough mounds of dough onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each biscuit.
- Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, until the biscuits are lightly golden and tender.
- Cool slightly before serving so the centers stay soft and the berry pockets remain juicy.
Notes
- Use cold butter for the best tender biscuit texture.
- Do not overmix the dough or the biscuits may become dense.
- Fresh blueberries work best, but frozen blueberries can be used straight from the freezer.
- For extra lemon flavor, add a simple lemon glaze after baking.
- These biscuits are best served warm but can be stored and reheated for later.
