Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups blueberries
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F and pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and lemon zest.
3. Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract, then stir just until a thick dough forms.
4. Gently fold in the blueberries without overmixing the batter.
5. Spread the dough evenly into the buttered baking dish and lightly score the top into 9 squares.
6. Bake for 22 to 27 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is cooked through.
7. Whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and remaining lemon zest to make the glaze.
8. Cool the biscuits for 10 minutes, then drizzle with glaze, slice, and serve.
Notes
Use cold blueberries if possible so they hold their shape better in the dough.
Do not overmix the batter or the biscuits can turn dense instead of fluffy.
Let the biscuits cool slightly before glazing so the topping stays visible and does not disappear into the surface.
