Lemon Blueberry Biscuits
"A nice sweet treat with a cup of tea! Drop them free-form onto a baking sheet for "craggy" biscuits or make them a little more shapely by using your hands or a small ice cream scoop. Either way, they taste great."

Sarah, these were great! I loved the lemon flavor of the glaze, I did add an extra tsp of lemon juice to get it to the consistancy I wanted. I can't wait til blueberry season! -
I made these with frozen blueberries and used 1/4 cup egg beaters instead of egg. I didn't have quite a cup of yogurt (didn't have blueberry, used vanilla instead) so I only used 2 cups flour.I only made 12 large ones and they cooked in about 30 minutes, I turned the temp down to 375* after the first 15 min. so they would cook through without burning. They turned out very good.

I am a wife and mom of 2 vibrant little boys. They love to create and cook in the kitchen... I love their curiosity and willingness to try new foods and techniques as I introduce them.
I love to cook... always have. Thanks to my father for this culinary passion! While I am addicted to collecting cookbooks, my dad taught me to experiment in the kitchen and gave me the gift of knowing that creative cooking doesn't have to come from a book.
