Try These Delicious Homemade Buttermilk Blueberry Biscuits with Lemon Glaze

Hi guys! Sara, here -Tiffany’s sister!

Today, I wanted to share one of our favorite dessert recipes! Almost every dessert I make is at least 90% chocolate: homemade biscuits, brownies, chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, or just a straight chocolate bar. So the fact that this one made the favorites list says a lot!

It’s a blueberry biscuit with a lemon glaze that makes me feel fancy when I make it and makes my taste buds dance when I eat it! It’s a great one to bring over to dinner parties or to eat them all yourself as you binge-watch Stranger Things.

There are two key components to this delicious dessert: the blueberries and the glaze. You can use either dried blueberries or fresh blueberries, and either one will give you a great taste! I choose to use dried blueberries because the taste is a little stronger, and they’re a little sweeter, and I love that.

If you decide to use dried blueberries as well, you might want to cut the sugar just a touch to make sure your biscuits aren’t too sweet.

If blueberries are your favorite, then you should also definitely try out these Blueberry Pie Bars. If you’re foraging for your own wild blueberies, then use any extras to make this blueberry strudel.

And the glaze! This recipe originally called for half the lemon in the glaze, but I love lemon and I used the full amount listed here. You are more than welcome to adjust it for your family’s tastes! Just start with a little and keep adding until you love it!

If you love lemons like I do, try out this recipe for lemon poppy seed cookies.

Blueberry Biscuits

These biscuits make a delicious side or dessert for dinner with this Creamy Chicken Limone recipe.

Here are the ingredients you need to make blueberry biscuits:

• 2 cups flour
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 5 tbsp butter (cold!)
• 1 cup blueberries (dried or fresh)
• 1 cup buttermilk

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients- flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and insert them into the dry ingredients.

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the unsalted butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse biscuit dough crumbs. This step creates a flaky texture in the biscuits.

Add 1 cup (0.24 l) of sweet blueberries to the mixture. If using fresh or frozen blueberries here, gently fold them in; if using dried blueberries, ensure they are evenly distributed. This addition of frozen or fresh blueberries, adds bursts of sweet, fruity flavor to the sweet biscuits.

Gradually add 1 cup (0.24 l) of buttermilk to the flour mixture, stirring until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; a slightly sticky and shaggy dough is ideal.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle or circle about 1 inch (2.54 cm) per inch thick each.

Using a floured biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the middle rack of the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each two cut biscuits.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the biscuits from sticking.

Lemon Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp butter (melted)
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla

In a mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients.

Whisk the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth consistency.

Ensure that there are no lumps in the flour powdered sugar mixture or the glaze. If needed, you can adjust the thickness by adding more powdered sugar or adjusting the liquid ingredients.
