I love these homemade berry biscuits because they are soft, buttery, and filled with juicy blueberries. The sweet vanilla-lemon glaze makes them feel like a warm bakery-style treat.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup cold milk

⅓ cup sugar

5 Tbsp butter, cold or frozen

4 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

3 oz blueberries, fresh or dried

1 cup powdered sugar

⅛ cup water

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp lemon juice

Directions

I place the butter in the freezer for at least 15 minutes, then I preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

I combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl, then I sift everything to remove lumps.

Then I pour in the cold milk and stir gently until the dough just starts coming together.

I grate the frozen butter directly into the dough, then I fold and gently knead until the butter is evenly spread.

I carefully fold in the blueberries so they do not get crushed.

Next I pull off portions of dough and shape them lightly into biscuit rounds.

I place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet or cake pan.

I bake them for 7–12 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.

Then I brush the hot biscuits with melted butter right after baking.

I whisk powdered sugar, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth, then I drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits.

Variations

I sometimes swap blueberries for raspberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries. I can also add a little lemon zest to the dough for extra brightness.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

I reheat them in the oven at 300°F for a few minutes until warm. I avoid overheating because I want the biscuits to stay soft.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, I can use frozen blueberries. I add them straight from the freezer so they hold their shape better.

Can I make these biscuits without glaze?

Yes, I can skip the glaze and still enjoy soft, buttery berry biscuits.

Can I use dried blueberries?

Yes, dried blueberries work well and make the dough easier to handle.

Why do I use cold or frozen butter?

I use cold butter because it helps create soft, flaky biscuits.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

I prefer baking the biscuits right away, but I can prepare the dry ingredients ahead to save time.

Conclusion

I love this homemade berry biscuit recipe because it is simple, cozy, and full of sweet berry flavor. The buttery biscuit texture and vanilla-lemon glaze make it perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a warm homemade treat.
