Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and lemon zest.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in blueberries.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Fold the dough over itself a few times to create layers, then pat down again.
- Cut out biscuits using a sharp biscuit cutter.
- Place biscuits on the sheet so they’re slightly touching.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown.
- Mix powdered sugar with a little milk and vanilla to create glaze, then drizzle over warm biscuits.
Notes
- Use very cold butter to achieve flakiness.
- Don’t overmix the dough to keep biscuits tender.
- Toss blueberries in flour to prevent sinking.
- Brush tops with milk before baking for a golden finish.
- Let biscuits cool slightly before glazing for best results.
