Teresa Ambra
Lemon Blueberry Biscuits are a delightful change of pace from regular, savory biscuits. These include lots of lemony flavor from lemon yogurt, lemon juice and lemon peel along with all those blueberries! The icing is also lemon flavored. If you're looking for a fantastic breakfast or brunch item for your holiday or company breakfast buffets, these biscuits are irresistible.
