Ingredients
  

For the biscuits
  • 2 cups Flour Spoon and level for accuracy.
  • 1 cup milk, cold Very cold for flakier biscuits.
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 5 tablespoons butter, cold or frozen Frozen gives nice layers.
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 ounces blueberries, fresh or dried Fresh burst better; dried add chew.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk salt, sugar, flour, and baking powder until even.
  3. Add cold milk and the blueberries; fold gently until dough comes together — you should still see little streaks of flour.
  4. Pull the butter from the freezer and break it into chunks; scatter over the dough.
  5. Fold and knead lightly until the frozen butter mixes in but you still see small bits.
  6. On a floured surface, roll the dough to about 1/8–1/4 inch thick.
  7. Using a biscuit cutter, stamp out roughly six biscuits; press straight down, don’t twist.
Baking
  1. Bake on a sheet until the edges turn golden and tops feel springy, about 7–12 minutes.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and brush it over the hot biscuits for shine and flavor.
Glazing
  1. Whisk powdered sugar, water, vanilla, and lemon juice into a smooth glaze and drizzle over warm biscuits.

Notes
