Blueberry Biscuits
Ingredients You’ll Need
For the biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 cup cold buttermilk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- Turbinado sugar, for topping
For the lemon glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
How to Make Blueberry Biscuits
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 475°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
Step 2: Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
Step 3: Combine the wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, stir together the buttermilk and melted butter. It may look a little clumpy—that’s perfect. Stir in the vanilla.
Step 4: Make the dough
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until everything comes together. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
Step 5: Scoop and sprinkle
Scoop out about 3 tablespoons of dough for each biscuit and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between them. Sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar for a little crunch.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 10–14 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crisp.
Step 7: Glaze it up
While the biscuits cool on a wire rack, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth. Drizzle over the biscuits once they’ve cooled slightly.
