  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1.5 sticks frozen butter, grated

  • 1 cup blackberries (approximately 6 oz.)
  • 1/2 stick butter, melted
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Grate the frozen butter into the bowl and toss to coat.
  3. Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk gradually, mixing with a fork until a soft, wet dough forms.
  4. Prepare Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, fold it gently, and pat it into a rectangle.
  5. Incorporate Blackberries: Place blackberries on the dough, fold, and pat into a rectangle, repeating until all blackberries are used.
  6. Cut Biscuits: Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter and place them in the baking dish.
  7. Bake: Bake the biscuits for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Make Glaze: Whisk together confectioner’s sugar, lemon juice, zest, and melted butter to make the glaze.
  9. Glaze Biscuits: Brush the glaze over the baked biscuits before serving.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of lemon zest and juice in the glaze to suit your taste preferences.
  • Be gentle when incorporating the blackberries into the dough to avoid crushing them.
  • These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
