• Fluffy and Buttery Biscuits: The biscuit dough, made with chilled butter and buttermilk, results in irresistibly tender and flaky biscuits that melt in your mouth.
• Irresistible Glaze: The zesty glaze, with a hint of lemon, adds a perfect touch of sweetness, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the biscuits.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 grams)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) very cold butter (113 grams)
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen)
• 4 tablespoons melted salted butter

Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
• 1 tablespoon milk

Directions:

Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C) and greasing a cast iron skillet or a baking sheet with butter.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut the chilled butter into small chunks and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands to cut the butter into pea-sized pieces.

Slowly pour in the buttermilk, stirring until the dough just comes together and separates from the sides of the bowl.

Transfer the dough onto a floured work surface and sprinkle some flour on top. Press or roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm).

Scatter the fresh blueberries over the dough and gently knead by folding the dough over onto itself, pressing it down, and folding again. Repeat this process a third time, then flatten the dough to approximately 1-inch (2.5 cm) thickness.

Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass with a diameter of 2 to 2 1/2 inches (5 to 6 cm).

Arrange the biscuits in the greased cast iron skillet, making sure they are touching. If using a baking sheet, ensure the biscuits are placed close together.

Bake in the preheated oven for a total of 10-12 minutes. Around the 6-8 minute mark, remove the biscuits from the oven and generously brush each one with melted salted butter, ensuring the tops and sides are coated. Return the biscuits to the oven.

Once the tops turn a light golden brown and the blueberries burst, remove the biscuits from the oven. Note that the biscuits will continue to cook with residual heat, so avoid overbaking.

Allow the biscuits to cool in the pan for approximately 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest (if using), and milk.

Drizzle or pour the glaze over the biscuits and serve them right away, savoring the warm, fresh goodness.

Notes:

• If desired, you can explore alternative glaze options such as vanilla or cream cheese glaze.
• For a twist, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the biscuit dough for a warm and cozy flavor.
• If you prefer a more golden crust on your biscuits, you can brush them with an egg wash before baking.
• Feel free to experiment with different fruits or berries in place of blueberries for a variety of flavors.

In conclusion, Sweet Blueberry Biscuits are more than just a delightful treat—they are a celebration of flavors, memories, and the joy of sharing good food with loved ones.
