Instructions

Prepare the oven and ingredients: Heat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Chill the butter in the freezer for about 10 minutes so it stays very firm. Rinse and dry the blueberries, then toss them with 1 teaspoon of flour to help prevent excess moisture in the dough.
Mix the dry base: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk thoroughly so everything is evenly distributed.
Incorporate the butter: Using a box grater, shred the chilled butter directly into the flour mixture. Gently toss with your fingers to coat the butter pieces and break up any clumps.
Add the liquid: Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until a rough dough forms. Stop mixing as soon as the flour disappears — overworking the dough can make the biscuits dense.
Fold in the blueberries: Carefully mix in the floured blueberries, distributing them evenly without crushing them.
Shape and portion: Scoop about ¼ cup of dough per biscuit onto the prepared baking sheet. Place them close together; the dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the tops turn lightly golden and the centers are cooked through.

Notes

While the biscuits bake, whisk powdered sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Spoon or drizzle the glaze over warm biscuits for a glossy finish, or wait until they cool slightly if you prefer a thicker coating. Serve warm and enjoy the contrast of buttery biscuit layers, sweet berries, and silky vanilla glaze.
