Ingredients
-
- For the biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- For the lemon glaze:
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1–2 teaspoons milk or cream, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Add buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Spread the biscuit dough evenly into the buttered baking dish.
- Score the dough into 9 squares with a knife.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
- While baking, whisk together the lemon glaze ingredients until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over warm biscuits and let it soak in slightly before serving.
Notes
- Toss frozen blueberries in a little flour before folding into the dough to reduce color bleeding.
- For extra lemon flavor, add zest to the biscuit dough too.
- No buttermilk? Mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar with 1 ¾ cups milk and let sit 5 minutes.
