I love making these Blueberry Lemon Biscuits when I want something that tastes gourmet without a ton of work. Unlike my Southern buttermilk biscuits, I start with a biscuit mix to cut down ingredients, then I get rid of rolling and kneading by using a drop biscuit method. Then I add blueberries and a little lemon zest. Ice them or leave them plain. Either way, they are a hit boos.

How To Make Blueberry Lemon Biscuits
Step 1: Mix together biscuit mix, yogurt, butter, zest and juice in a large bowl. Fold in the floured blueberries.
Step 2: Lightly flour a large ice cream scooper and scoop a roughly tennis ball-sized ball of dough.
Step 3: Drop the biscuit into the cast iron. Repeat until all the dough is in the skillet.
Step 4: Bake biscuits for 12-14 minutes. If you’d like a more golden brown color, broil for the last 2 minutes of baking. Let cool for at least 10 minutes.

Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cup biscuit mix I used Bisquick
- 2/3 cup lemon greek yogurt or plain greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1/3 cup salted butter melted, plus more for brushing on top of biscuits (or unsalted works too)
- 1 lemon juice and zest of the one lemon
- 1 cup fresh blueberries frozen also works
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and prepare a 10" cast iron skillet with a little oil or oil spray.
- Mix together biscuit mix, lemon yogurt, butter, lemon zest and juice in a large bowl. Start with 2 cups of biscuit mix and then add a 1/4 cup of biscuit mix until the dough is slightly sticky yet well-combined.
- Dust a little flour on the blueberries then toss into the biscuit dough. Gently fold in to combine. If needed, add a bit more biscuit mix to create a firmer result.
- Lightly flour a large ice cream scooper and scoop a roughly tennis ball-sized ball of dough. Drop the biscuit into the cast iron. Repeat until all the dough is in the skillet.
- Brush or drizzle the tops of the biscuits with the remaining butter. Or even add an icing if you want to make them sweet.
- Bake biscuits for 12-14 minutes. If you’d like a more golden brown color, broil for the last 2 minutes of baking. Let cool for at least 10 minutes. Brush with additional melted butter then serve them up.
