Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup (85 g) raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups (360 g) all purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup (1 stick, 113 g) unsalted butter ( cold, cut into tablespoons)
1 ¼ cups (300 mL) cold buttermilk
2 Tablespoons granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups (170 g) confectioners sugar ((powdered/icing))
2-3 Tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Soak raisins. In a small bowl, stir together vanilla and raisins. Let soak until ready to use.
  • Prep oven and pan. Preheat your oven to 450f. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Or use a round cake pan (lightly grease). You can also bake in a cast iron pan.
  • Combine dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  • Cut in butter. Using your fingertips, two knives, or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the butter are pea-sized. You should still see visible solid pieces of butter.
  • Add raisins. Stir in the soaked raisins and any leftover vanilla extract.
  • Add buttermilk. Pour in your cold buttermilk and stir to combine. It will form a shaggy, sticky dough.
  • Make swirl/topping. This is going to be layered into the biscuit dough and some will be sprinkled on top. In a small bowl mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Reserve some for sprinkling on top.
  • Shape the biscuits. Empty the bowl onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll the dough into a 1/2-inch thick and sprinkle on some cinnamon sugar. Then fold the dough in half. Repeat this process 3 more times to create layers.
  • Cut out the biscuits. Pat the dough out into a 3/4 inch to 1-inch thick circle (I like thick biscuits so I make the dough about 1-inch thick). Using a biscuit cutter (or the rim of a large drinking glass) press straight down into the dough. You can also use a sharp knife or pizza cutter and just cut the biscuits out into squares. Do not twist the cutter, which can cause your biscuits to come out lopsided. Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet or in baking pan. Place the biscuits next to each other on the cookie sheet so they touch.
  • Top the biscuits. I use a pastry brush and lightly brush on the leftover buttermilk that is in my measuring cup and brush the tops of the biscuits. I then sprinkle on the remaining cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake the biscuits. Bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on pan for about 5 minutes. Remove biscuits to continue to cool on a cooling rack.
  • Make icing. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Adjust consistency if needed. Drizzle on biscuits once cool.

Yield MAKES ABOUT 2 DOZEN

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large egg
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon brandy
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon (generous) salt
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup whole almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease heavy large baking sheet. Using hand-held electric mixer, beat egg and sugar in medium bowl until very thick and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in brandy and vanilla. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into egg mixture and blend well. Mix in raisins and almonds. Spoon dough onto prepared sheet to form 10- to 11-inch strip. Using moistened fingertips, shape dough into neat 11-inch-long by 2 1/2-inch-wide log.
  • Bake until log just begins to brown and feels firm to touch, about 20 minutes. Cool cookie log on sheet 15 minutes. Maintain oven temperature.
  • Transfer cookie log to work surface. Using serrated knife, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-wide slices. Arrange slices on same baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Turn slices over. Bake until beginning to color, about 8 minutes longer. Cool cookies completely on baking sheet (cookies will become very crisp). (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Too much or too little of an ingredient can throw off the balance of the recipe.
  • Follow the recipe instructions carefully. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the biscuits tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the biscuits rise properly.
  • Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven. A hot oven will help the biscuits rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overbake the biscuits. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the biscuits cool slightly before glazing them. This will help the glaze set properly.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon raisin biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a batch of warm, fluffy biscuits that are perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or meal, give these cinnamon raisin biscuits a try. You won't be disappointed!
