Ingredients

  • 2 cups all -purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
  • Incorporate the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal with pea-sized lumps.
  • Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the flour mixture until evenly distributed.
  • Create a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir with a fork until a shaggy dough just begins to form.
  • Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat into a rectangle and fold it over itself three times to create layers.
  • Flatten the dough to a 1-inch thickness and cut biscuits using a 2.5-inch circular cutter, pressing straight down without twisting.
  • Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with melted butter, and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown and risen.
