Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Biscuit cutter

Ingredients
  

Biscuits

  • 1 ¼ cup chilled whole buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup salted butter frozen for 10 minutes
  • 1 tablespoon melted salted butter
  • 2 ½ cups self-rising flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract

Icing

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 teaspoons milk
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Now, let’s get to the fun part! Here’s the step-by-step guide to making your own Boberry Biscuits:

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

  • First things first, gather all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This ensures that the biscuits will rise beautifully and achieve that perfect golden brown color.

Step 2: Prepare the Butter

  • Take your frozen butter and grate it into a bowl. This trick allows the butter to mix evenly into the flour, which is essential for that flaky texture. Set it aside for now.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and lemon zest. Whisk it all together until completely mixed.

Step 4: Add the Butter

  • Add the grated butter to the dry mixture. Use a fork or pastry cutter to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for achieving flakiness.

Step 5: Incorporate Buttermilk

  • Pour the buttermilk into the mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Now, fold in the blueberries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 6: Shape the Biscuits

  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut your biscuits into circles. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7: Bake

  • Brush the tops with the melted butter. Bake in your preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 8: Prepare the Icing

  • While the biscuits are baking, mix the icing ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine lemon juice, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the consistency with milk, as needed. The icing should be pourable but not too runny.

Step 9: Drizzle the Icing

  • Once the biscuits are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the icing over warm biscuits for that picture-perfect finish.

Notes

Here are some helpful tips to nail this recipe:
  • Chill Your Ingredients: Keeping the butter and buttermilk cold helps create a tender, flaky texture.
  • Don’t Overmix: Overmixing leads to tough biscuits. Mix just until combined!
  • Use Fresh Blueberries: Frozen blueberries can work, but they can make the dough wetter. If using frozen, slightly reduce the amount of buttermilk.
  • Shape Uniformly: Try cutting the biscuits evenly for consistent baking.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for added depth.
