Frosted Cinnamon-Raisin Biscuits Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 12 Servings

15 15 30

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup raisins
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
FROSTING:
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 to 5 teaspoons warm water

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; sprinkle with raisins and cinnamon. Knead 8-10 times (cinnamon will have a marbled appearance).
Drop batter into 12 mounds 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown.
For frosting, combine the sugar, butter, vanilla and enough water to achieve desired consistency. Frost warm biscuits. Serve immediately. Yield: 1 dozen.
