Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar or sweetener of choice to equal
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, grated
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 lemon, zest of
  • juice of half the lemon
  • 1/4 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (if frozen, do not thaw)
  • extra tablespoon of sugar for sprinkling (optional)

How To Make easy lemon blueberry drop biscuits

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 420 degrees F. In a bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and butter using a fork.
  • Step 2
    In a separate bowl, mix the egg, buttermilk, vanilla, lemon zest and juice. Then add the blueberries on top of the flour mixture and pour in the egg buttermilk mixture and mix the batter together using the same fork, do not over mix it at all!
  • Step 3
    Take a serving tablespoon and take a spoon-full of the batter and drop it on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Step 4
    If you’d like more uniform looking biscuits, use the same spoon and your fingers (wet your fingers with water if you feel the batter sticks too much to them) and round off the sides or flatten up the biscuits, or even use a cookie cutter placed around the biscuit batter and then try to push the batter to the edges to fill up the cookie cutter space, then remove the cookie cutter and repeat with the rest of the batter—to make this step easier for you, it’s better to oil the insides of the cutter well so it doesn't stick at all to the batter.
  • Step 5
    Sprinkle the biscuits with sugar if you like and bake for 15 minutes until golden and cooked through. Cool on a wire rack for 2 minutes and serve.
  • Step 6
    Optional glaze: 1 teaspoon of lemon juice whisked with ½ cup of confectioner sugar.
