How to Make Sweet Blueberry Biscuits
- Preheat and Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to a hot 450°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the salt, sugar, flour, and baking powder to combine the dry ingredients.
- Mix in the Magic: Gently fold in the cold milk and blueberries into the dry mix. The cold is crucial here—it’s what makes the biscuits so tender and flaky.
- Butter Up: Before you even think about starting, remember to place a stick of butter in your freezer for about an hour. Once it’s sufficiently frozen, take it out and grate or break it into tiny chunks. Sprinkle these frozen butter bits all over your biscuit dough, and gently fold and knead to distribute evenly. This is the secret to those irresistibly flaky layers.
- Roll and Cut: On a lightly floured surface, roll out your dough to about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thickness. With a biscuit cutter, stamp out your biscuits. You should get about six delightful rounds ready for baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and pop them into the oven. They’ll need about 7 to 12 minutes, or just until they’re beautifully golden and your kitchen smells like a dream.
- Glaze with Love: While the biscuits are hot, brush them with a little melted butter for an extra touch of richness. Then, whisk together the powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle this over the warm biscuits, allowing the glaze to seep into every nook and cranny.
