Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 cup berries (fresh or frozen)
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (add by the teaspoon)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees, and prepare a 9 by 9 inch baking pan by spraying with nonstick spray. You could also use a 10 inch round skillet or pie dish.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together.
- Add cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until you have pea-sized flour-coated bits of butter. Stir in berries so they are coated in flour.
- Measure out 3/4 cups milk, and stir the vanilla extract into the milk. Then slowly add the milk mixture into the mixing bowl, stirring as you go until a sticky dough forms.
- Using a spring-loaded scoop (about 1/4 cup size) or two large spoons, drop the biscuit dough into the prepared baking dish. This recipe will make nine biscuits.
- Bake the biscuits for 18-20 minutes, or until they are fluffy and just turning golden on the tops.
- Remove from the oven and then let cool for 5-10 minutes before adding the glaze.
- To make the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk in a small bowl. Keep adding more milk by the teaspoon as needed until the glaze runs off a fork in a continuous ribbon. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the biscuits and serve.
- These Glazed Berry Drop Biscuits will keep for 3 days covered at room temperature, but the glaze will soften once they are covered.
