Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) cold buttermilk
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (2g) lemon zest
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Use a pastry cutter or fork to work the chilled, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized lumps remaining.
  3. Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently until the dough just begins to come together.
  4. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries using a spatula. Stop once they are evenly distributed until you see a few purple streaks but the dough is still mostly pale.
  5. Drop 10 generous mounds of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or pat the dough into a circle and cut into rounds.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the tops are a pale gold and the edges smell buttery.
  7. While biscuits cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm biscuits.
