Description
Delicious and fluffy blueberry biscuits, perfect for a delightful breakfast or a sweet snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 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
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1/8 cup Water (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon Lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- 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 in until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Pour in the cold milk and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix, or your biscuits won’t be as fluffy.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it out to about 1-inch thickness, then cut out biscuits using a round cutter or the rim of a glass.
- Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden-brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Let the biscuits cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze generously over the warm biscuits. Serve fresh and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure the butter is very cold for optimal flakiness.
- Fresh blueberries can be substituted with dried blueberries if preferred.
- For an extra touch, add a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
