  • 4 teaspoonsbaking powder
  • 1/3 cupsugar
  • 1 teaspoonsalt
  • 5 tablespoonscold or frozen butter
  • 1 cupcold milk
  • 3 ouncesblueberries, fresh or dried

  • 1/8 cupwater
  • 1 teaspoonvanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Grate or cut the cold butter into small pieces, then use a pastry cutter or fingertips to rub the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gently fold in blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
  5. Pour in cold milk and stir gently until the dough just comes together; avoid overmixing.
  6. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat to about 1-inch thickness, and cut biscuits using a round cutter or glass rim.
  7. Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart, and bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  8. While baking, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, water, vanilla, and lemon juice until smooth.
  9. Let biscuits cool slightly, then drizzle generously with glaze before serving warm.

Notes

For extra flakiness, use frozen butter and handle dough minimally.
Toss blueberries in flour before folding into the dough to prevent bleeding.
Glaze can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Biscuits can be frozen unbaked and baked straight from frozen with 3–4 extra minutes.
For a citrus boost, add lemon zest to the dough.
