How To Make easy lemon blueberry drop biscuits
-
Step 1Preheat the oven to 420 degrees F. In a bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and butter using a fork.
-
Step 2In 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 3Take 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 4If 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 5Sprinkle 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 6Optional glaze: 1 teaspoon of lemon juice whisked with ½ cup of confectioner sugar.
