Who can resist fresh baked goods? not me... I love these quick and easy 'biscuits' - I think you will too! 
you can fold in any berry really...and change up the zest from lemon to orange or even - lime!  

Blueberry Lemon Biscuits {with vanilla bean glaze} 

Ingredients: 


Biscuit Dough
2 cups flour
1 cup cold milk
1⁄3 cup sugar
5 Tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4-6 ounces blueberries 
2 teaspoons lemon zest 

Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1⁄8 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1⁄2 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions: 

Plan Ahead: before baking -  place butter in freezer at least 2 hours ahead of making dough. 

Preheat oven to 450°F 


Mix salt, sugar, flour, and baking powder in a large bowl. Sift that dry ingredient mix before proceeding to next step. 


Add cold milk into the sifted dry ingredients and mix. Once the dough begins to form - grate the frozen butter evenly over dough. Fold dough, and knead until all butter is spread evenly throughout dough. Take blueberries and lemon zest and fold into dough gently. 


With floured hands and a large spoon, drop biscuit sized dough balls into a parchment lined cookie sheet and slightly pat into a biscuit shape.  


Bake in oven for 9-12 minutes.


Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the microwave, and brush tops of finished biscuits. When the biscuits are cooled slightly, mix the glaze ingredients in a bowl, and drizzle over biscuits.
