Servings: Makes approximately 6 biscuits
Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cold milk
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 5 tablespoons butter (frozen)
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 ounces fresh or dried blueberries
For the Glaze:
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/8 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add in the cold milk and blueberries, gently folding to combine. Grate or chop the frozen butter into small chunks and scatter them over the dough. Knead and fold the dough gently to distribute the butter evenly, creating flaky layers. Place the dough on a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to shape approximately 6 biscuits. Transfer them to a baking sheet and bake for 7 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and brush it over the tops of the hot biscuits. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, water, vanilla, lemon juice, and honey until smooth. Drizzle generously over the warm biscuits and serve immediately.

The blueberries add natural antioxidants and a slight boost of fiber. While not dairy-free or gluten-free, modifications can be made using plant-based milk and gluten-free flour alternatives.
