Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

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

Directions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Make the Biscuits: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Slowly pour in the buttermilk, stirring gently until a sticky dough forms. If the dough seems dry, add a little more buttermilk. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed without crushing them.
Assemble and Bake: Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking pan. Evenly spread the dough over the melted butter, smoothing it out with a spatula. Use a knife to cut the dough into 9 squares. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Add vanilla extract. Adjust the consistency by adding more lemon juice to thin or more powdered sugar to thicken.
Drizzle and Serve: Once the biscuits are done baking, let them cool slightly before drizzling with the lemon glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!
