*Looking for a biscuit that’s both bright and indulgent? Blueberry biscuits bring just that, thanks to a surprising hero: lemon yogurt.
As Taste of Home reports, the creamy, citrus-infused ingredient not only enhances flavor but also gives the dough a moist, tender crumb that elevates each bite. Finished with a sweet lemon glaze, these biscuits are as beautiful on a brunch spread as they are satisfying to eat.
What Makes These Blueberry Biscuits Special?
The magic begins with a balanced mix of dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. But it’s the wet ingredients where the flavor really comes to life. Lemon yogurt, melted butter, a whisked egg, and fresh lemon zest come together to form a rich, tangy base. Fold in blueberries, fresh or straight-from-the-freezer, to add bursts of fruity sweetness throughout.
Once the dough is prepped, drop scoops onto a baking sheet and pop them into a 400°F oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they’re golden and puffed. A final drizzle of lemony glaze made with powdered sugar and citrus juice adds just the right amount of zingy sweetness on top.

Tips & Tricks for Blueberry Biscuit Success
- Using frozen blueberries? Don’t thaw them before mixing to prevent bleeding color into the dough.
- Want to switch it up? Try chocolate chips, currants, strawberries, or nuts instead of blueberries.
- For added flavor: Swap lemon zest with orange for a different citrus note, or use a cream cheese glaze for a richer finish.
Make-Ahead and Storage Tips
These biscuits store beautifully in an airtight container for up to five days at room temp. You can also freeze them for up to three months. Just reheat to revive their freshness.
Dietary Alternatives
- Vegan version: Use dairy-free yogurt, vegan butter, and replace the egg with 1/4 cup applesauce.
- Gluten-free version: Swap in gluten-free flour alternatives like oat, almond, or coconut flour. The texture will differ slightly, but the result remains delicious.
How to Tell When They’re Done
You’ll know your biscuits are ready when they rise slightly and develop a light golden-brown crust on the tops and edges. Let them cool slightly before glazing so the icing doesn’t melt away too quickly.
