Ingredients
Scale
- 3 oz (85 g) blueberries (fresh or dried)
- 5 tbsps (75 mL) cold or frozen butter
- 1 cup cold milk
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup (60 mL) water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat: Ignite the oven to a searing 450°F, creating an ideal baking environment for golden, flaky biscuits.
- Mix Dry Components: Whisk flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a expansive mixing bowl until perfectly integrated.
- Develop Dough: Incorporate cold milk and blueberries into the dry mixture, using a light touch to prevent berry crushing. Dice frozen butter into minuscule fragments and fold gently into the developing dough, ensuring even distribution and maintaining delicate layered textures.
- Shape and Prepare: Dust a work surface with flour and roll the dough to a precise 1/4 to 1/8 inch thickness. Punch out six circular biscuits and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake and Finish: Slide the baking sheet into the scorching oven, allowing the biscuits to transform into golden treasures within 7-12 minutes. Immediately upon removal, paint the surface with melted butter for a lustrous sheen.
- Glaze Creation: Whisk powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice into a silky, glossy glaze. Drizzle artfully over the warm biscuits, completing this delectable pastry experience.
Notes
- Butter Precision: Use extremely cold, frozen butter and cut it into tiny pieces to create flaky, layered biscuit textures.
- Blueberry Handling: Gently fold berries to prevent color bleeding and maintain whole fruit integrity during mixing.
- Dough Technique: Avoid overworking the dough to keep biscuits tender and prevent tough, dense results.
- Glaze Timing: Apply glaze only when biscuits are warm but not hot to achieve perfect consistency and absorption.
