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.

  • Add-ins: A handful of chopped nuts or white chocolate chips would be amazing.
  • No turbinado sugar? Use regular sugar for a little sweetness on top.
