Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (or more, as needed)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Make the Biscuit Dough
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
Step 3: Shape the Biscuits
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll it out to about 1-inch thickness.
- Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits, reshaping the dough as needed.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Step 5: Make the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Step 6: Glaze and Serve
- Let the biscuits cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
