Glazed Blueberry Biscuits

Submitted by rpgaymer

"This recipe was shared by a friend and it definitely makes more of a dessert biscuit instead of a traditional savory one, which is a nice change of pace. Good served with a cup of tea or coffee, instead of alongside a meaty meal."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Yields: 10 biscuits
• Serves: 10

ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1⁄3 cup sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk, cold
• 5 tablespoons butter, frozen
• 3 ounces blueberries (fresh or dried)
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon juice

directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until well-incorporated.
3. Add the cold milk & mix a bit. As dough begins to form, use a cheese grater to grate the butter into the dough evenly. Fold dough as you grate so the butter spreads evenly throughout. When done with the butter, fold in the blueberries.
4. Gently pull off chunks of dough and pat to form 10 biscuits of roughly the same size. Place on ungreased cookie sheet or cake pan. Bake in oven for about 7-12 minutes, or until golden.
5. When biscuits are done, paint them with the melted butter using a pastry brush.
6. Just before serving, mix the powdered sugar, water, vanilla and lemon juice to create a glaze. Drizzle over biscuits.

Awesome taste! Had to add flour; came out scone-ish, but good good good!
