Blueberry Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 ounces blueberries
1 cup cold milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoons butter, cold
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Optional Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 cup water
Instructions:
Preheat Your Oven: Start by heating your oven to 450°F. This high heat will help get that nice, golden top on your biscuits.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add Milk and Blueberries: Pour in the cold milk and add the blueberries. Gently stir until the ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits light and airy.
Incorporate Butter: Cut the cold butter into small pieces and scatter them over the dough. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the dough until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Shape the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead and fold the dough a few times. Roll the dough out to about 1/4 to 1/8-inch thickness.
Cut Out Biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or a floured glass, cut out your biscuits and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake: Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Make the Glaze (Optional): While the biscuits are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and water until smooth.
Serve: Brush the freshly baked biscuits with a little melted butter and drizzle with the glaze if you like for an extra touch of sweetness.
These Blueberry Biscuits are simply delightful, bursting with fresh flavors that are sure to please.
