Ingredients
  

  • For the Biscuits:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in Butter:
  • Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Form Dough:
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Shape Biscuits:
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times. Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into biscuits using a biscuit cutter or knife.
  • Bake:
  • Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Prepare Glaze:
  • While the biscuits are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Glaze Biscuits:
  • Once the biscuits are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits.
