Blueberry Biscuits with Lemon Glaze
Ingredients
- 2 cup all purpose flour-a little extra for rolling
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 Tablespoons very cold cut butter
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
- 3/4 cup frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Lemon Glaze
- 1 Cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 Teaspoons of lemon zest
- 1-2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450
- Cube 6 tablespoons of Butter in small squares , place in a small bowl and place in the freezer for 10 minutes
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush the pan you are using liberally, I used a cast iron skillet
- In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and granulated sugar
- 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
- Remove the buttermilk from the fridge and slowly mix it into the flour mixture.
- Fold in blueberries carefully, if using frozen they won't break as easily
- Turn the mixture onto a floured surface and with floured hands press the dough into a1/2 -3/4 rectangle-Do Not Roll or the berries will break
- Use a bicuit cutter or glass and cut the biscuits and place them in the pan
- You will need to reform the dough to cut more biscuits, you should be able to get 5-6 depending on the size
- Brush the biscuits with the melted butter
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-14 or until golden brown
- While the bicuits are baking mix the glaze to the consistency you like using fresh lemon juice
- Once the biscuits are done let them cool for 5 minutes
- Drizzle glaze on biscuits
