Description

These Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits are a delightful and easy-to-make treat perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack. Tender, fluffy biscuits studded with fresh blueberries are baked over melted butter, creating a rich and moist base. Topped with a tangy lemon glaze, these biscuits offer a perfect balance of sweetness and citrus zest to brighten up your day.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour (spoon and leveled)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups buttermilk (up to 2 cups)
  • ½ cup salted butter (melted, 1 stick)

Fresh Produce

  • 1½ cups fresh blueberries

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the biscuits evenly.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Add Buttermilk and Form Dough: Slowly pour in the buttermilk while stirring gently until a sticky dough forms. If the dough appears dry, gradually add more buttermilk, but avoid overmixing to maintain tender biscuits.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the dough, ensuring they’re evenly distributed without crushing them to keep their burst of flavor intact.
  5. Prepare Baking Pan: Pour the melted salted butter into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking pan, creating a rich base for the biscuits to ‘swim’ in as they bake.
  6. Shape and Cut Dough: Evenly spread the dough into the baking dish over the melted butter using a spatula to smooth the surface. Then, use a knife to cut the dough into 9 squares to allow even baking and easy serving.
  7. Bake Biscuits: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Make Lemon Glaze: While the biscuits bake, whisk together powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until very smooth. Add vanilla extract for extra flavor. Adjust consistency by adding more lemon juice to thin or powdered sugar to thicken.
  9. Glaze and Serve: Once the biscuits have finished baking, let them cool slightly. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm biscuits and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and flavor; frozen berries may release excess moisture and make the dough soggy.
  • Be cautious not to overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender and fluffy.
  • If you prefer a less tangy glaze, reduce the lemon juice slightly.
  • These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently before serving to restore softness and enhance the flavor of the glaze.
