These Lemon Berry Biscuits are the perfect sweet summer biscuit for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert!
One of my favorite summer flavor combinations is lemon and berries.
Little Roger and I have been picking lots of berries in our backyard.
Well, really I’m doing the harvesting while he eats them as fast as I pick them.
Which is totally fine by me, I love my little berry boy.
So while I wish I could say I made these Lemon Berry Biscuits with blueberries from one of our three bushes, those were consumed too fast by our family, mainly little Roger Dale, before I could bake anything with them.
Since he loves anything with berries, I knew he would absolutely love these Lemon Berry Biscuits.
I used my favorite easy buttermilk biscuit recipe as the base and tweaked it just a bit to make it sweeter.
And these Lemon Berry Biscuits turned out perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert!

These Lemon Berry Biscuits are the perfect sweet summer biscuit for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert!
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 15 Biscuits 1x
Ingredients
-
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Zest
- 2 Tablespoons White Sugar, optional
- 2 Cups All Purpose Flour, plus extra for hands
- 4 Teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 8 Tablespoons Salted Butter, cold
- 1 Cup Fresh Mixed Berries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries
- 1 Cup Buttermilk
Icing Ingredients
-
- 3/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/4 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2–3 Tablespoons Milk
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or foil with spray oil).
- In a large bowl, add the 2 tablespoons lemon zest and 2 tablespoons white sugar. Rub them together with your fingers for about 30 seconds to infuse the sugar with lemon flavor.
- Stir in the 2 cups flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Next, grate in the 8 tablespoons of butter and stir to combine.
- Carefully mix in the 1 cup of berries.
- Then carefully stir in the 1 cup of buttermilk, stirring until combined. Be sure not to over-stir or the biscuits may become too dense.
- Place the dough onto a floured surface and use your hands to gently work the dough into a rectangular shape.
- With floured hands, fold the dough in half, incorporating any crumbs, and work back into a rectangular shape.
- Repeat this process 2-3 more times. *(1)
- Once you have the desired number of layers create a square shape with your hands that is approximately 1 & 1/2 inches thick.
- Cut your dough into biscuits using a biscuit cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet. *(2)
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden brown.
- While the Lemon Berry Biscuits are baking whisk together the 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2-3 Tablespoons of milk. Set to the side. *(3)
- Remove the biscuits from the oven, let them cool, drizzle with icing, and enjoy!
Notes
- The more you fold the dough the more layers you will have, just be sure not to overwork the dough so that it will stay light and fluffy.
- Normally I just cut them into squares so there aren’t any scraps, but to make them pretty I used a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
- For thicker icing add more powdered sugar for thinner icing add more milk.
I hope you enjoy your Lemon Berry Biscuits!
