Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious biscuits:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 tablespoons cold or frozen butter
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 ounces blueberries (fresh or dried)
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Step-by-step Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
Step 3
Add the cold milk and blueberries to the dry ingredients and blend gently.
Step 4
Freeze a stick of butter, then break it into small chunks and distribute evenly over the dough.
Step 5
Fold and knead the dough several times to distribute the butter chunks evenly.
Step 6
On a floured surface, roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 to 1/8 inch, and use a biscuit cutter to form about six biscuits.
Step 7
Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 7-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 8
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and brush it over the warm biscuits.
Step 9
Prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Drizzle this glaze over the warm biscuits.
Servings & Preparation Time
This recipe yields about 6 biscuits. Preparation time is approximately 15 minutes, and cooking time is 7-12 minutes. Total time from start to finish is under 30 minutes, making this a quick and delightful treat.
Tips for Storage & Reheating

- To reheat, place the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F (176°C) for about 5-10 minutes or until warm. This helps preserve their texture better than microwaving.
