Baking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the butter in an 8×8 inch baking dish and let it melt in the oven. Remove once fully melted.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add lemon zest and blueberries to the dry ingredients and gently toss to combine.
- Pour in the buttermilk and fresh lemon juice. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
- Transfer the dough to the baking dish with melted butter. Gently spread it evenly to the edges.
- Score the top into 9 squares with a knife, not cutting all the way through.
- Bake for 25–28 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool for 5–10 minutes before adding glaze.
- Make the glaze by whisking powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the warm biscuits before serving.
Notes
Use cold buttermilk to help create a tender dough and prevent overmixing. For the best lemon flavor, use fresh lemon zest and juice—not bottled.
