Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt
- 7 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 1 cup cold buttermilk plus 1–2 tsp more if needed
- 1 tsp lemon zest, finely grated
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
- 1 cup fresh blueberries pat dry
- 1 tbsp heavy cream for brushing
- 1 tbsp coarse sugar for sprinkling

- 1 tbsp milk for thinning the glaze, as needed

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter until the mix looks like coarse crumbs with pea-size bits.
- Stir in lemon zest and vanilla. Add buttermilk and mix just until a shaggy dough forms.
- Gently fold in blueberries. If dry spots remain, sprinkle in 1–2 teaspoons buttermilk.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface. Pat into a rectangle, fold in thirds, and repeat once for flaky layers.
- Press to about 1 inch thick. Cut 8 rounds with a floured 2.5-inch cutter, gathering scraps as needed.
- Arrange biscuits on the sheet so they just touch. Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake until risen and golden, 14–17 minutes. Cool 10 minutes on a rack.
- Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Adjust thickness to drizzle.
- Drizzle glaze over warm biscuits. Let set a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Swap lemon with orange for a softer citrus note, or add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough. For extra blueberry pop, brush warm biscuits with a spoonful of warm blueberry jam before glazing. Store leftovers airtight at room temp for 1 day or refrigerate up to 3 days; rewarm briefly before serving.
