Ingredients for Lemon Blueberry Butter Swim

Gather these items:

2.5 cup all-purpose flour (313g)
4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cup buttermilk
6 tablespoon butter (melted)
1 cup blueberries
1 zested lemon
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (for icing)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)

How to Make Lemon Blueberry Butter Swim Step-by-Step

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450℉.
Step 2: In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt, sugar, lemon zest, and baking powder. Then, add in the buttermilk and stir until everything is combined. Lastly, fold in the blueberries.
Step 3: Place the baking dish in the oven with the 6 tablespoons of butter and allow to melt. This also preheats the baking dish to help with the crispy edges.

Step 6: When done baking, remove the biscuits from the oven.
Step 7: Mix together the ingredients for the icing then pour on top of the hot biscuits and spread it out evenly over the biscuits.
Step 8: Once the biscuits are cool, slice and serve.
