Ingredients
  

For the Biscuits
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until combined.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest, if using.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut the biscuits using a round cutter and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before enjoying them warm.

Notes

For the best results, use cold butter and buttermilk, and do not overmix the dough. Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.
