Description

Sweet, tender, and oh-so Southern, these blueberry buttermilk biscuits are a treat you’ll want on every brunch table. Sliced into soft squares and oven-baked - they are stuffed with juicy fresh blueberries and finished with a vanilla bean glaze (while warm!) that melts right into every bite. Irresistible and perfect for any spring table!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 4 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ Cup Butter - cold and cubed
  • 1 Cup Buttermilk - cold
  • 1 Cup Fresh Blueberries
  • Zest of 1 Lemon

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
  3. Using a pastry cutter, cut in the cold butter until the dough has pea-sized clumps in it and is crumbly.
  4. Add in the buttermilk and gently mix with a spatula until the dough has just come together. Do not over-mix! It will still look a little dry and crumbly - that is ok!
  5. Gently stir in the blueberries and lemon zest and mix until just barely coming together.
  6. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and gently bring it together in a rectangle (roughly 6 ½"x9" and about ½" tall) with your hands and a rolling pin.
  7. Slice the rectangle in thirds, and stack each rectangle on top of the other. Gently roll out into a rectangle again till about the size of a 5 ½"x9", about a ½"-¾" tall. Cut down the middle of the dough longways and then into 3 horizontal slices - making 8 equal-sized square biscuits.
  8. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the biscuits close together.  Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  9. While they are baking, whisk together the ingredients for the glaze until smooth and set aside.
  10. Remove from the oven and immediately spoon an even amount of glaze over each warm biscuit - spreading to the edge so it can melt all over. Enjoy immediately hot and fresh.
