Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Line a baking tray or skillet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
- Cut cold butter into small cubes and work into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently stir in the buttermilk, then fold in the blueberries (lightly coated in flour) without overmixing.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, fold it several times, and roll into a 1-inch thick disc. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter.
- Place biscuits on the prepared tray and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk to form the glaze.
- Let biscuits cool slightly, then drizzle generously with lemon glaze before serving.
Notes
- For dairy-free, substitute buttermilk with almond or coconut milk plus lemon juice.
- Use a gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum for a gluten-free option.
- Vegan version: use plant milk with vinegar and vegan butter or coconut oil.
- Swap blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or add chopped nuts for variation.
