How to Make Blueberry Drop Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and lemon zest.  Gently mix in the blueberries.

In a small bowl, combine the cold buttermilk and the slightly cooled melted butter. Stir until combined and small clumps form. It is ok if the mixture is lumpy. Stir in the vanilla.

Pour buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients and stir with rubber spatula until just combined.

Scoop biscuit batter (approximately 2 1/2 tablespoons per biscuit) and drop on prepared baking sheet, spacing biscuits at least 2 inches apart.

Sprinkle the tops of each biscuit with turbinado sugar.
