What Makes This Glazed Blueberry Biscuits So Good

I’ve baked a lot of biscuits in my life, but nothing—and I mean nothing—has ever disappeared from the plate faster than these glazed blueberry biscuits. Picture this: fluffy, buttery layers bursting with juicy blueberries, all drizzled with a sweet-tart glaze that makes you question why you ever settled for plain old toast. The secret?

A little extra love (and butter, obviously). If your breakfast game needs a glow-up, these glazed blueberry biscuits are your golden ticket. Trust me, your future self will high-five you for making these.

Ever bite into something so good it momentarily erases all your problems?

That’s the power of these biscuits. The blueberries caramelize slightly in the oven, creating little pockets of jammy goodness. The glaze?

It’s not just sugar—it’s a tangy-sweet hug for your taste buds. And let’s be real, anything that makes your kitchen smell like a bakery at 7 AM deserves a standing ovation. Nostalgic, indulgent, and secretly easy?

Sign me up every Sunday.

Ingredients

You probably have most of this in your pantry already, but I’ll forgive you if you need to sprint to the store for blueberries. (Pro tip: frozen work in a pinch, but fresh are chef’s kiss.) Here’s the lineup:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled, unless you enjoy dense biscuits)
• 1 tbsp baking powder (not baking soda—this isn’t science class)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar (because life’s too short for unsweetened carbs)
• ½ tsp salt (the unsung hero of baked goods)
• ½ cup cold butter, cubed (yes, cold. No compromises.)
• ¾ cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice if you’re improvising)
• 1 cup fresh blueberries (washed and patted dry—no soggy biscuits here)
• 1 cup powdered sugar (for the glaze that’ll make you lick the bowl)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice (or milk if you want a milder glaze)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. This isn’t a suggestion. Cold oven = sad, flat biscuits.
2. Whisk dry ingredients. Flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a big bowl.

   Pretend you’re a TV chef and fluff it dramatically.

3. Cut in the butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers until it looks like crumbly sand. Tiny butter pockets = flaky layers.
4. Gently fold in blueberries. Like you’re handling a fragile ego. Overmixing = purple dough (tasty but weird-looking).
5. Add buttermilk. Stir just until combined.

   Lumps are fine—this isn’t a smoothie.

6. Shape and cut. Pat dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle, cut into squares (no rerolling—rustic is charming).
7. Bake for 15 mins. Golden tops = your cue to start glazing.
8. Drizzle the glaze. Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice, then go wild. More is more.

Storage Instructions

These glazed blueberry biscuits vanish fast, but if by some miracle you have leftovers: store them airtight at room temp for 2 days. For longer love, freeze unglazed biscuits for up to 3 months—just thaw, warm, and glaze.

Pro tip: Double the batch and freeze half. Future you will weep with gratitude at 6 AM.

Why You’ll Love This Glazed Blueberry Biscuits

• Brunch hero: Impress guests without admitting it took 20 minutes.
• Kid-approved: My niece calls them “cupcake biscuits.” Enough said.
• Versatile: Swap blueberries for raspberries, lemon glaze for orange, or add a cinnamon crunch topping for extra drama.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using warm butter. Your biscuits will spread like gossip. Cold is key.
• Overworking the dough. Tough biscuits = edible hockey pucks.
• Skipping the glaze. It’s like forgetting the punchline to a joke—don’t do it.

Alternatives and Variations

Vegan?

Use coconut oil and almond milk. Gluten-free? A 1:1 GF flour blend works (add 1 tsp xanthan gum).

For keto, try almond flour and monk fruit sweetener—though IMO, blueberries are worth the carbs. Craving citrus? Swap blueberries for lemon zest and top with a lavender-infused glaze.

Can I freeze this?

Absolutely!

Freeze unglazed biscuits on a tray, then bag them. Reheat at 350°F for 10 mins and glaze fresh.

What’s the best substitute for buttermilk?

Mix 1 cup milk with 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5 mins—it’s basically buttermilk’s stunt double.

How long does it stay fresh?

2 days at room temp, but good luck keeping them that long.

They’re like socks in the dryer—gone before you know it.

Is this kid-friendly?

Unless your kid hates joy, yes. Even picky eaters devour these (hide veggies elsewhere).

Can I prep it ahead of time?

Mix dry ingredients and cut butter the night before. Add wet stuff in the morning—boom, fresh biscuits with zero dawn patrol effort.
