Lemon Blueberry Biscuits
I have to admit I love Homemade Biscuits! But give me sweet biscuits with lemon and blueberries? That’s taking biscuits to a new level. And, yes, we loved them! These easy drop biscuits include lemon yogurt and fresh blueberries in the biscuit. The icing includes lemon peel and lemon juice to bump up those lovely lemony flavors. Oh my, Lemon Blueberry Biscuits were absolutely delicious.

I’ve found a lot of fantastic Taste of Home recipes over the years and this is one of them. I like to make treats for our Hostess Committee on Sunday mornings whenever we serve as ushers. We come early. My husband makes coffee and I bring goodies. I usually end up making muffins, but I do like to mix it up every now and then with biscuits (sweet), scones or pie crust cinnamon rolls. Yum. I’ve had a lot of wonderful feedback from all the treats we serve, and it’s a way to use that desire to bake and be in the kitchen!
Lemon Blueberry Biscuits turned out incredibly good. The flavor melded well together and the texture was wonderful. Nowadays, more and more of the folks are willing to try my goodies because they know I’m not going to bring in anything that tastes bad!!! Even the younger kids that have more selective appetites are enjoying my treats.
These delectable biscuits are perfect for a weekend, company or holiday breakfast or brunch. They’re also delightful for a “breakfast for dinner” menu. And if you’re one of those guys or gals who enjoy a sweet something with your morning coffee, Lemon Blueberry Biscuits are just the thing. Enjoy.
Lemon Blueberry Biscuits are heavenly!
These sweet biscuits are filled with blueberry and lemony taste.
Every bite is scrumptious!
Lemon Blueberry Biscuits are marvelous for a weekend, company or holiday breakfast buffet.
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients for the biscuits.
Put unbleached flour in a mixing bowl. (Bleached flour toughens baked goods). Add granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Stir ingredients to combine; set aside.
Grate lemon peel and set aside.
Place lemon-flavored Greek or Icelandic yogurt in a mixing bowl. Add eggs, lemon peel and butter.
Whisk ingredients to combine.
Wash blueberries well in a colander.
Pat blueberries dry between layers of paper towels.
Add blueberries to yogurt mixture.
Stir to combine.
Add blueberry mixture to dry mixture.
Here the blueberry mixture is added on top of the dry mixture.
Stir to combine until there are no crumbs on the bottom of the bowl.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop dough.
Place scoops of biscuit dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Be sure to leave plenty of room between the biscuits because they expand a lot while baking.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes until biscuits test done and are lightly browned on top. Allow biscuits to cool 5 minutes before removing to wire cooling racks.
I used these ingredients for the icing.
Place powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Add lemon juice and grated lemon peel.
Whisk ingredients to combine.
Drizzle icing mixture over top of biscuits.
Allow the icing to dry a little bit and set up before transferring biscuits to a serving platter to serve.
Lemon Blueberry Biscuits are irresistibly delicious!
Serve Lemon Blueberry Biscuits anytime you want something sweet for breakfast!
The lemony icing makes these biscuits sweet and heavenly.
