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

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3: Cut in Butter

Add cold or frozen butter to the flour mixture. Cut it in using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4: Fold in Blueberries

Gently fold the blueberries into the dry mixture, being careful not to crush them.

Step 5: Add Milk and Mix

Pour in cold milk and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 6: Shape the Dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or the rim of a glass.

Step 7: Bake the Biscuits

Place biscuits slightly apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Step 8: Prepare the Glaze

While the biscuits bake, whisk together powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.

Step 9: Glaze and Serve

Let biscuits cool slightly, then drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm tops. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, but do not thaw them. Fold them into the dough frozen to prevent discoloration and excess moisture.

Can I make these ahead of time?
They’re best fresh, but you can bake and store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the oven for best texture.

What’s the best butter to use?
Frozen butter gives the flakiest result. Grate it directly into the dry ingredients for easy distribution.

Can I skip the glaze?
Sure! They’re delicious plain or with a smear of butter or jam, but the glaze adds a lovely touch of sweetness.

Can I make them dairy-free?
Try using plant-based butter and milk alternatives. The texture may change slightly, but they’ll still be tasty.
