Fruit Biscuits With Vanilla Glaze

At some point in life you go to Bojangles or Burger King and find the fruit biscuits all covered in goo and think these are really tasty, but you don't always want to wake up and get dressed to join the regular world. The solution is here.

Fruit Biscuits with Vanilla Glaze


2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 stick of butter (unsalted and cold)
3/4 cup buttermilk or milk (low fat or not)
1/2 cup blue berries, strawberries or the like or a mixture.

Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbs water (more or less to make thicker or thinner)

preheat to 475
Mix flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a bowl. Cut butter into cubes and work into flour until it is the consistency of cornmeal with chunks. Try not to over mix. I can be a little lumpy. I like to use my hands and mush it in. Add milk a little at a time until it forms a nice dough that is a little sticky. Fold in fruit. Press by hand on on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch to 1 inch thick (depends on how tall you like your biscuits). Cut with round cutter or cup or what ever round item you have (once I made moose shaped biscuits because I couldn't find the round cutter, anywho). bake for 12-15 mins or until desired brown-ness on top.

Once out of the oven and before they cool drizzle with Glaze and eat up.
