My husband, children, in-laws and grandchildren really enjoy these biscuits! They're especially good for breakfast, but can be served at any meal.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder

ICING:

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and raisins; stir just until combined.

Meanwhile, combine icing ingredients. Drizzle over warm biscuits. Yield: 8-10 biscuits.
