These thumbprint biscuits might just be our favorite biscuit dough hack yet! Pillsbury™ Blueberry flavored Sweet Biscuits with Icing are dipped in a lemon-sugar mixture before baking, which gives them a great texture and flavor that pairs perfectly with the blackberry jam filling. And don't forget the sweet lemon drizzle—it's what takes these biscuits over the top.
