Ingredients

  • 2 cups all -purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 3/4 cup whole buttermilk, cold
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces remaining.
  • Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest to distribute evenly without crushing the berries.
  • Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir with a spatula until a shaggy dough just begins to form.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; pat into a rectangle and fold in thirds like a letter to create layers. Repeat folding process twice.
  • Pat dough to a 1-inch thickness and cut into 8 rounds using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, pressing straight down without twisting.
  • Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until tops are golden brown.
  • Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth to create the glaze.
  • Drizzle glaze over the biscuits while they are still slightly warm and serve immediately.
