Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined for an even distribution of leavening and flavor.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Grate or cut cold or frozen butter into small pieces and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, essential for flaky texture.
  4. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them to preserve their shape and prevent excess moisture release which could affect the dough consistency.
  5. Add Milk: Pour in the cold milk and gently stir just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, pat it to about 1-inch thickness, and cut out biscuits using a round cutter or the rim of a glass.
  7. Arrange and Bake: Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet spaced slightly apart to allow rising. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the tops turn golden brown.
  8. Prepare Glaze: While biscuits bake, whisk together powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  9. Glaze and Serve: Let the baked biscuits cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze generously over the warm biscuits. Serve fresh for best taste and enjoy the combination of flaky biscuit and sweet glaze.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best flavor and texture; dried blueberries can be used but may alter moisture.
  • Keeping the butter and milk cold helps create flaky biscuits by preventing the butter from fully melting before baking.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits; mix just until combined.
  • For a vegan adaptation, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives but expect textural changes.
  • Optional: Add a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the dough for extra flavor dimension.
