Blueberry Biscuits with Lemon Glaze

These Blueberry Biscuits with Lemon Glaze are so dreamy!!  Do you ever see a recipe shared on Facebook and think ..”wow, i really need that” ? Early on a Sunday morning I saw a blueberry biscuit recipe shared on Facebook and after I got caffeinated I went to work. I didn’t even click on the link , I wanted the recipe to my own. In the picture it was just a plain biscuit  , I knew I wanted a lemon glaze. Lemon and blueberry is simply a marriage made in heaven. After several experiments this is the Blueberry Biscuits with Lemon Glaze  I decided I liked the best.

I am the first person to admit I am all about buying biscuits in a can but if you have time you really need to make them . It really isn’t that hard as long as you follow a few steps, It is so worth the time. Start by cubing the butter in small pieces and placing it in the freezer for 10 minutes. Once it is ready sift together the dry ingredient and using a fork or pastry cutter cut the butter into the flour mixture.

Once the butter is cut it should resemble small pebbles or peas.

Add cold buttermilk and mix well. Carefully fold in blueberries and turn onto a floured surface.

Cut biscuits and place into a buttered buttered pan or skillet. Brush the biscuits with melted butter. Bake in a preheated oven for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown.

While the biscuits are baking mix the lemon  glaze..the fresh lemon is a must.

Once the biscuits cool a few minutes drizzle the glaze in the biscuits.

Enjoy!!

• Once the butter is cold enough using a fork or pastry cutter cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter looks like small pebbles or peas
