Iced Cinnamon Biscuits

SUBMITTED BY: sydny

"Serve these biscuits oven-fresh for breakfast or brunch. They are wonderfully light and have an appealing cinnamon flavor. The plump raisins and simple icing add the right touch of sweetness."

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • ICING:
  • 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon milk

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients; cut in the shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in raisins. Add buttermilk; stir just until moistened.
  2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 4-5 times. Roll to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place with sides barely touching on a greased baking sheet.
  3. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-17 minutes or until golden brown. Combine the icing ingredients; drizzle over biscuits. Serve warm.

These were good biscuits but not great. My kids really liked them. I like cinnamon raisin biscuits, but these had a slightly strange after taste to them. I think next time I will use my regular biscuit recipe and just add the cinnamon and raisins to it. Also the icing was too thick to just drizzle; I ended up just smearing it over the top of the biscuits. Maybe it just needed a tiny bit more milk.

These were really really good. I left out the raisins and used my food processor to combine everything. The texture of the biscuits was very good and the flavor was excellent. The kids loved them!
