Description

Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits with Lemon Glaze are golden, buttery, and bursting with blueberries, finished with a tangy-sweet lemon glaze. Soft inside, crisp on the edges, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.


Ingredients

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


Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place butter in an 8×8 dish and melt in oven while preheating.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in milk until just combined. Fold in blueberries gently.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Remove dish with melted butter from oven.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Pour dough into the buttered dish, letting butter surround dough without stirring.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake 35–40 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Finishing Touches: Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest into a glaze. Drizzle over warm biscuits.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice into squares and serve warm.

Notes

  • Toss blueberries in flour before folding to prevent sinking.
  • Glaze while biscuits are warm so it soaks in.
  • Don’t overmix—batter should be slightly lumpy.
  • For crispier edges, bake in a cast iron skillet.
