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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the biscuits.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Add the cold or frozen grated butter into the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, quickly cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial to ensure flaky biscuits.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the cold milk and stir gently just until the dough starts to come together. Avoid over-mixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or dried blueberries to distribute them evenly without crushing.
  6. Shape and Cut Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough into a roughly 1-inch thick rectangle. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut the dough into individual biscuits without twisting to avoid sealing the edges.
  7. Bake Biscuits: Place the biscuit rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased surface. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Prepare Glaze: While the biscuits bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.
  9. Glaze the Biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits to add a sweet, tangy finish.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the blueberry biscuits warm for the best texture and flavor. They pair wonderfully with butter or additional jam.

Notes

  • Using cold butter is key to creating flaky biscuit layers.
  • To prevent crushing fresh blueberries, gently fold them into the dough at the end.
  • You can swap out dried blueberries for fresh if preferred; adjust baking time slightly if needed.
  • If the glaze is too thick, add a teaspoon more water gradually until desired consistency is reached.
  • For a lighter version, substitute milk with almond milk or another plant-based milk.
