For the Biscuits:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup cold milk

⅓ cup granulated sugar

5 tablespoons butter (cold or frozen)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. Prep the Butter:

Place 5 tablespoons of butter in the freezer for about an hour before you start. You want it frozen solid.

2. Preheat Oven:

Set your oven to 450°F (232°C).

3. Make the Dough:

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

Add the cold milk and blueberries, and mix until just combined (don’t overmix).

4. Incorporate Butter:

Grate or break the frozen butter into small chunks. Gently fold it into the dough.

Knead the dough a few times on a floured surface, folding it to distribute the butter evenly throughout. Repeat 2–3 times.

5. Roll & Cut:

Roll out the dough to about ¼ to ⅛ inch thick.

Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out 6 biscuits.

6. Bake:

Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake for 7 to 12 minutes, or until golden on top and cooked through.

7. Finish with Butter:

While hot, brush the tops with 1 tablespoon melted butter.

8. Make the Glaze:

Mix together powdered sugar, water, vanilla, and lemon juice until smooth.

Drizzle generously over warm biscuits.

Tips:

Use fresh blueberries if possible — they burst with flavor.

Dried blueberries work too, especially in off-seasons — soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to plump them up.

For extra decadence, serve with honey butter or clotted cream on the side.
