Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Pastry Cutter
  • Round Cutter

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cold milk
  • 5 tablespoons Cold or frozen butter Grated or cut into small pieces

Blueberries

  • 3 ounces Fresh or dried blueberries Gently folded into the dough

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1/8 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lemon juice

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

For best results, use cold ingredients and avoid overmixing the dough.
