How to Make Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits with Lemon Glaze

Ingredients

2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1 ½ cups Milk
½ cup Unsalted Butter (1 stick), melted
1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup Powdered Sugar
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the butter in an 8×8 dish and melt it in the oven while it preheats.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
Stir in the milk until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the blueberries to the dough.
Remove the dish with the melted butter from the oven and pour the dough into the buttered dish, allowing the melted butter to surround the dough without stirring.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
While the biscuits bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to make the glaze.
Once the biscuits are warm and golden, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Slice into squares and serve warm.

How to Serve Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits with Lemon Glaze

These biscuits are best served warm. You can enjoy them plain or with a little extra butter. They pair wonderfully with coffee, tea, or juice. For a special touch, serve them on a pretty plate and drizzle more lemon glaze over the top.

How to Store Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits with Lemon Glaze

To store any leftover biscuits, place them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, store them in the refrigerator for up to five days. To reheat, simply warm them in the microwave or oven until they are just heated through.

Tips to Make Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits with Lemon Glaze

Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen ones work too if fresh is not available.
Be careful not to overmix the dough; it should be lumpy, which helps to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
For an extra lemony kick, add more lemon zest or a pinch of lemon extract to the glaze.

Variation

You can switch up the flavors by using different fruits such as raspberries or blackberries instead of blueberries. You may also try adding spices like cinnamon for a warm flavor twist.

FAQs

Q: Can I use low-fat milk for this recipe?
A: Yes, you can use low-fat or even non-dairy milk. It may slightly change the texture but will still taste good.

Q: How do I know when the biscuits are done?
A: The biscuits are done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Q: Can I make the dough ahead of time?
A: It’s best to bake the dough right after mixing, but you can prepare the dry ingredients ahead of time and combine them with wet ingredients when you are ready to bake.
