Ingredients
Biscuits:
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter – Very Cold
2 tablespoons sugar
2 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. buttermilk
1 teaspoon Salt
4 tablespoons salted butter – melted
1 c. fresh blueberries (could use frozen)
Glaze:
1-2 tsp Lemon Juice
1 c. Powdered Sugar
1 tbsp Milk
1 tsp of Lemon Zest (optional)
How to make Sweet Blueberry Biscuits
Step 1: Into small chunks, cut the butter and put them in the freezer.
Step 2: Using butter, grease a cast-iron skillet or baking sheet. Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 475 degrees F.
Step 3: To make the glaze, whisk the glaze ingredients in a bowl until well blended and set aside.
Step 4: Using a whisk, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Then, cut in the chilled butter using your hands, pastry cutter, or fork until it is about pea-size.
Step 5: To the flour mixture, gradually add the buttermilk until the dough separates from the sides of the bowl. Mix well until just combined. Onto a floured work surface, transfer the dough.
Step 6: Sprinkle flour on top of the dough. Press/roll the dough using your hands or a rolling pin to about half an inch thickness.
Step 7: Over the dough, place the blueberries and fold them over onto themselves, pushing them down, folding them again, and then pushing them down once more. Fold it again and flatten the dough to about 1-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch or 2 1/2 biscuit cutter or a glass, cut the dough into biscuits.
Step 8: In the prepared cast-iron skillet, place the biscuits, ensuring they are touching. Do the same if using a baking tray. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes. Take the biscuits out at about 6 to 8 minutes and generously brush each biscuit with the melted salted butter. Make sure to brush the tops and any exposed sides of the biscuits. Return the biscuits to the oven and resume baking until the tops of the biscuits turned light brown and the blueberries burst.
Step 9: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Over the biscuits, drizzle or pour the glaze. Serve the biscuits immediately. Enjoy!
Notes:
The butter should be very cold. Place them in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
Here is the recipe for a plain glaze (whisk them together): 3 tbsp milk (or more), half tsp vanilla, and 1 c powdered sugar.
In an airtight container, keep any leftover biscuits.
