Lemon Blueberry Biscuits

I have been waiting almost a year to share this recipe with you! I made them at the end of blueberry season, but since I had already posted several blueberry recipes, I thought I should wait. I wanted these to shine all on their own.  It was an exercise in patience, let me tell you, but I know you will agree it was worth the wait.

These biscuits actually melt in your mouth. I'm not kidding. The subtle lemon flavor enhances the blueberries just beautifully. They are tasty plain but the lemon glaze puts them over the top!

I got this recipe from baker extraordinaire, Marsha, at The Better Baker. Marsha and I like a lot of the same recipes because we share the same philosophy -- keep it SIMPLE and delicious! You can see her original recipe and write up HERE (hers is a lo-cal version!)  and while you are there, take some time to look around. I know you will find many other recipes you will want to try!

1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

GLAZE:

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 TB lemon juice

1 tsp. grated lemon peel

Preheat oven to 400-F.

In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.  In a small bowl, combine yogurt, egg, butter and lemon peel; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in blueberries. Drop by large spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake ~15 minutes or until lightly browned. *(Make sure your container of yogurt is 8 oz, not 6 oz.)

Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm biscuits.

Happy Baking!
