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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Stir in the lemon zest to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to squash them.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

Step 7

Gradually pour the cream mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little extra heavy cream to encourage browning.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

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.

Step 13

Once the biscuits have cooled slightly, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy these delightful Lemon Blueberry Biscuits!
