Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 5 tablespoons butter (frozen)
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 ounces fresh or dried blueberries (about ½ cup)

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/8 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 450°F (230°C) and let it heat up while you prepare the dough.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
3. Add milk and blueberries: Pour 1 cup of milk into the dry mixture and gently fold in 3 ounces of fresh or dried blueberries until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

2. Add the Butter

1. Prepare the butter: Before you start the recipe, place 5 tablespoons of butter in the freezer for about 1 hour to freeze.
2. Add frozen butter: Once the butter is frozen, remove it from the freezer and break it into chunks. Add the butter chunks into the dough and fold gently. Knead the dough a few times to distribute the butter evenly. The frozen butter will create flaky layers in the biscuits.

3. Shape the Biscuits

1. Roll out the dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough out to about ¼ to ⅛ inch thickness.
2. Cut the biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or a round object, cut out about 6 biscuits from the dough. If needed, gather the scraps and roll them out again to cut more biscuits.

4. Bake the Biscuits

1. Bake: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them in the preheated oven for 7 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
2. Brush with butter: Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the microwave. Gently brush the tops of the hot biscuits with the melted butter for extra flavor.

5. Make the Glaze

1. Mix the glaze: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1/8 cup of water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir until smooth and well combined.
2. Drizzle the glaze: Once the biscuits have cooled slightly, drizzle the honey glaze over the top of the biscuits.

6. Serve

1. Serve warm: Enjoy these blueberry biscuits warm for the best texture and flavor. They can be served with extra honey or butter on the side for a delicious treat!

Tips for Success

• Frozen butter: Freezing the butter before adding it to the dough helps create flaky layers in the biscuits. Make sure to fold the dough gently to avoid melting the butter.
• Fresh or dried blueberries: Fresh blueberries give the biscuits a juicy burst of flavor, but dried blueberries work well if you prefer a firmer texture or don’t have fresh ones on hand.
• Avoid overmixing: Mix the dough just until combined to avoid tough biscuits. Overworking the dough can result in dense biscuits.
