Method
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; keep butter and milk cold.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until even.
- Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized bits remaining.
- Gently fold in the blueberries so they don’t burst; if using frozen blueberries, tossing them in a bit of flour helps.
- Pour in the cold milk and stir just until the dough comes together; it should be shaggy and not overworked.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat to about 1-inch thickness, and cut biscuits with a round cutter or glass without twisting.
Baking
- Place biscuits on the prepared sheet about 1 inch apart so edges can brown evenly and bake for 12–15 minutes until tops are light golden and bottoms smell nutty.
Glazing
- Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and a splash of water or milk into a smooth, runny glaze; adjust as needed.
- Cool biscuits briefly on a rack; while still warm, drizzle the glaze generously over them.
- Let the glaze set for a minute before serving warm.
Notes
Use a food processor to cut butter quickly and chill dough for 10 minutes for convenience. If desired, add 1/4 tsp of lemon zest or a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor.
