Here’s a delightful recipe for Homemade Blueberry Lemon Biscuits with a Sugar Crust:
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 cup fresh blueberries
3/4 cup buttermilk (plus more for brushing)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Sugar Crust:
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest until well combined.
Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Stir the mixture together with a fork or wooden spoon until it forms a shaggy dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
Pat the dough out into a circle or rectangle, about 1 inch thick.
Using a floured biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lemon zest for the sugar crust.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little buttermilk, then sprinkle the sugar crust mixture evenly over the tops of the biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy these delightful Homemade Blueberry Lemon Biscuits with a Sugar Crust warm, with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat!
