My classic Buttermilk Drop Biscuits are my all-time favorite, but I also love playing around. My Strawberry Biscuits were a hit so I decided to make Blueberry Biscuits too! And now I don’t know which recipe is my favorite because they are all so good!

You can’t go wrong with any of them, but I will say that I love blueberry everything and these biscuits are FANTASTIC!

The biscuits only take about 20 minutes because they are drop biscuits, which means you don’t have to roll, cut, or fuss! The biscuits are buttery, tender, and fluffy. Plus, they are bursting with fresh blueberries. You also get a nice hint of lemon thanks to the lemon zest in the dough and the sweet lemon glaze.

I love making these biscuits when blueberries are in season, but frozen blueberries work well too. Enjoy for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert!

Biscuit Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour
  • Granulated sugar
  • Baking powder & Baking Soda– check the dates and make sure they are fresh.
  • Kosher salt
  • Lemon zest– use a microplane to zest the lemon.
  • Buttermilk– make sure the buttermilk is COLD, not at room temperature.
  • Unsalted butter– melted and cooled slightly!
  • Pure vanilla extract
  • Blueberries– you can use fresh or frozen berries.
  • Turbinado sugar for sprinkling on the biscuits for a nice, sugary crunch!

Lemon Glaze

Of course the biscuits are good plain, but I like to finish the biscuits with a simple lemon glaze. The glaze makes them extra special and brings out the best lemon flavor. Blueberry and lemon is always a winning combo!

For the glaze, you will need:

  • Confectioner’s sugar
  • Lemon juice
  • Lemon zest

That’s it! If you don’t want to make the glaze, you can serve the biscuits with honey butter, equally delicious.

  • In a medium bowl, combine cold buttermilk and the slightly cooled melted butter. Stir with a spatula until combined and small clumps form. It is ok if the mixture is lumpy. Stir in the vanilla.

  • Place the baking sheet in the oven, on the middle rack, and bake until the biscuit tops are golden brown, about 10 to 14 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let biscuits cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer biscuits to wire rack and let cool completely.

How to Store

  • How to Store: Homemade biscuits are best the day they are made, but you can store them in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days.
  • How to Freeze: Let the biscuits cool completely and make sure the glaze is set. Place in a freezer bag or freezer container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw and enjoy! You can also freeze the biscuits without the glaze, thaw, and then make the glaze. Drizzle over biscuits and serve!

  1. I want to make these lovelies this weekend with blueberries from my freezer. Do I thaw them, or use them still frozen? Thanks!

  2. Is the buttermilk a must? Is there a recommendation for a replacement if I donโ€™t have it specifically

    1. I recommend using buttermilk. You can make buttermilk by adding lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.

    2. You can make buttermilk. Add lemon juice or vinegar to milk and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes before using.

      Yes ; you can add 1 tsp vinegar to plant milk let it sit and it curdles. I prefer soy for the protein content and vegan butter vs dairy and voilรก โค๏ธ

  3. When you say add lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk to make buttermilk…can you also suggest how much to add to…how much? LOL

  4. 5 stars
    Used King Arthur gluten-free flour and Swerve for the sugar. Did not use the glaze. Did use freeze dried blueberries. Tasted like biscuits with blueberries. Very good

  5. What a treat! My family really enjoyed these biscuits. Thanks for the awesome recipe. I will be making these again and again.

  6. 5 stars
    Absolutely amazing biscuits. I made these this morning and they are spectacular. The lemon zest added an incredible taste. The only thing I did differently was to add the blueberries to the flour mixture before adding the liquid ingredients. I am less likely to overwork the dough by doing it that way. Thank you so much for this amazing recipe!
