For the Biscuits:

2-1/2 cups self-rising flour

2 TBSP granulated sugar

1 stick cold butter

1 cup cold buttermilk

1 cup dried blueberries

zest of 2 lemons

For the Glaze:

1 cup powered sugar

zest of 1 lemon

juice from 1 lemon

1-2 TBSP heavy cream

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, add the flour, granulated sugar, lemon zest and dried blueberries and stir to mix everything together,

Grate your cold butter and add it to the flour mixture, and give it a good mix to make sure all the butter is coated in flour.

Add the buttermilk and stir to start forming your dough. Turn the dough out onto your floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together. Now pat out the dough and fold it over on to itself. then pat it out and fold it again. repeat these pat and folds a few time, as this is what makes those flakey biscuit layers.

Pat out the dough one more time into an even 1/2’’ thick, and using a 2” round biscuit cutter, cut out your biscuits and place them on your prepared baking sheet. Remember to not twist the cutter as it can seal the edges causing your biscuits not to rise.

Reroll the scraps and repeat with patting them out and cutting out the rest of your biscuits,

Bake 14-16 minutes, or until the tops start turning golden brown.

While the biscuits are baking, you can make the glaze. In a medium bowl, mix the powered sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice. If needed, use the heavy cream to bring the mixture to drizzle consistency. You want it thin enough to drizzle, but thick enough to stay on the biscuits and form a nice glaze.

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool about 5 minutes before glazing.

Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle each biscuit with the glaze, as much or as little as you like. There are absolutely no rules with this glaze!

Serve these warm and enjoy!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
