Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ¼ cups Reduced Fat Bisquick®
1 cup whole wheat baking mix
⅔ cup buttermilk
2 cups HERSHEY®'S Cinnamon Chips
1 cup cinnamon coated raisins
3 tablespoons melted butter
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • In a food processor, process cinnamon chips until coarsely ground. Remove 1/2 of the chips, and continue to process the remaining chips until finely ground.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together baking mixes, 1 cup coarsely ground cinnamon chips, and raisins. Make a well in center, add buttermilk, and stir just until dough comes together.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured, flat surface. Knead gently for 1 minute. Flatten dough to a 8x10 inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with finely ground cinnamon chips. Starting from one long side, roll up the dough. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Slice roll crosswise into 8 equal slices, and arrange in a 9x13 ungreased baking pan.

Tips:

  • Use Cold Ingredients: Cold butter and buttermilk help create flaky layers in the biscuits. For best results, chill the butter and buttermilk before starting.
  • Don't Overwork the Dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Cut the Dough with a Biscuit Cutter: A biscuit cutter is the best way to get evenly sized biscuits. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a sharp knife to cut the dough into squares.
  • Bake the Biscuits Close Together: Baking the biscuits close together helps them rise evenly and creates a soft, fluffy interior.
  • Brush the Biscuits with Butter: Brushing the biscuits with butter before baking gives them a golden brown crust and helps keep them moist.
