Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided (thanks to the suggestion from @ngdarlen add more flour till the dough is biscuit dough consistency)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fresh grated lemon peel
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup shortening
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup unthawed frozen blueberries (keep frozen right up until adding to dough)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 dash ground nutmeg

Steps:

Mix 2 cups of the flour with the sugar, baking powder, lemon peel, salt, and soda in a large bowl.
Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix egg and buttermilk then stir into the flour mixture.
Stir in the frozen blueberries.
Sprinkle remaining flour on the countertop. Scrape dough out onto the flour; flour fingers and gently knead 6 or 7 times, just until dough begins to hold together.
Pat dough into a rectangle or round 1/2-inch thick.
Cut out rounds with a floured 2-inch cutter or glass.
Place biscuits 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake in center of a preheated 400° oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Combine topping ingredients and brush over the warm biscuits.
