Blueberry Lemon Biscuits

These Blueberry Lemon Biscuits are easy to pull together but really taste gourmet. It’s the lemon and blueberry combo that takes them over the top. I love whipping up a batch on a busy weekday morning. Ice them or leave them plain, they are a hit boos.

Biscuits in my family aren’t usually this easy just fyi. I have a few shortcuts I use like a biscuit mix that cuts down some of the work. With some additions like blueberries and lemon zest, I really make them taste homemade.

Blueberry Lemon Biscuits Ingredients

  • Salted Butter– If you only have unsalted butter, toss a little salt into the dough.
  • Biscuit Mix– Grab your fave brand here.
  • Lemon Yogurt– Go for a greek yogurt that’s thicker. You can also use vanilla, plain or even sour cream as a swap.
  • Lemon Zest & Juice– Remember to zest then juice. Start with half of the juice and continue to add until you get the dough consistency you like.
  • Blueberries– Fresh is best but frozen also works here.

Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Course: Bread, Breakfast
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cup biscuit mix I used Bisquick
  • 2/3 cup lemon greek yogurt I used Noosa
  • 1/3 cup salted butter melted, plus more for brushing on top of biscuits
  • 1 lemon juice and zest of the one lemon
  • 1 cup blueberries

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.

Notes

Feel free to try different flavors of yogurt like orange or vanilla to vary the recipe up.
Storage
Homemade biscuits made with perishable foods (in this case yogurt) should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If stored properly, these biscuits will stay fresh for up to 2 days. Alternatively, they can be tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or tin foil and frozen for up to 3 months.
To reheat: preheat the oven to 350 degrees, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the biscuits on top. Bake the biscuits until warmed; this typically takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Top the biscuits with fresh butter or glaze, then serve and enjoy!
If reheating from frozen, tent the biscuits with a piece of foil to prevent over-browning. It will take about 15-20 minutes to reheat frozen biscuits.
