Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the butter in an 8×8-inch baking dish and let it melt in the oven.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
3. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
4. Gently fold in the blueberries.
5. Spread the dough evenly into the baking dish over the melted butter.
6. Score the dough into 9 squares before baking.
7. Bake for 22 to 27 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice, then drizzle over the warm biscuits.
9. Let cool slightly, then serve warm.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the dough once the buttermilk goes in, or the biscuits can turn dense instead of staying soft and tender.
