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 my friend Marsha Baker (what a lucky last name!) Marsha and I like a lot of the same recipes because we share the same philosophy – keep it SIMPLE and delicious! Marsha has a baking blog called The Better Baker. Check it out!
