Crowd-pleaser: Perfect for family breakfasts, potlucks, or even dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the biscuits:

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup cold milk
1/3 cup sugar
5 tablespoons butter, cold or frozen
1 teaspoon salt
3 ounces blueberries (fresh or dried)

For the glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
1/8 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

How To Make Blueberry Biscuits

Preheat & prep: Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper—because who loves scrubbing pans after baking? Exactly, no one.
Mix the dry crew: In a big bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Butter time: Grab your grater (yes, like the one for cheese) and grate that cold butter right into the dry mix. Or, cut it into tiny cubes if you’re feeling old-school. Rub it in with your fingertips until the mix looks like coarse crumbs.
Blueberry magic: Fold in the blueberries gently. Treat them like the divas they are—you don’t want them bursting all over the dough.
Bring it together: Pour in the cold milk and stir softly until the dough just comes together. Overmixing = tough biscuits, and nobody wants that.
Shape & cut: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, pat to about 1-inch thickness, and cut out biscuits with a round cutter or even a glass rim. Rustic is charming, so don’t stress perfection here.
Bake: Place the biscuits on your baking sheet, leaving a little room between each. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and irresistible.
Glaze while warm: While the biscuits bake, whisk powdered sugar, water, vanilla, and lemon juice into a silky glaze. Once the biscuits cool slightly, drizzle generously over the top.

Tips for Biscuit Success

Keep everything cold. Cold butter and cold milk = fluffy layers.
If your glaze is too runny, add a little more powdered sugar. Too thick? A drop more water will fix it.
For extra lemon flavor, add some zest to the glaze. It makes the biscuits sing with brightness.
Leftover biscuits (if there are any!) can be reheated in the oven at 300°F for a few minutes.

FAQs About Blueberry Biscuits

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes! Just don’t thaw them before mixing, or you’ll end up with purple streaks in your dough (though honestly, that could look kind of fun).

What’s the best way to store leftovers?

Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze without glaze and warm before serving.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely. Make and cut the dough, then freeze the unbaked biscuits. When you’re ready, pop them straight in the oven—just add a couple of extra minutes to the bake time.

These blueberry biscuits are the kind of recipe you’ll find yourself making again and again—whether it’s to brighten up a Monday morning or to wow your brunch guests on Sunday. They’re simple, comforting, and just a little bit indulgent (because life’s too short to skip the glaze).
