Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 0.75 cups heavy cream, plus more for brushing
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the lemon zest to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the mixture.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to squash them.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Gradually pour the cream mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little extra heavy cream to encourage browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth.
Once the biscuits have cooled slightly, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top using a spoon or piping bag.
Serve warm and enjoy these delightful Lemon Blueberry Biscuits!
