HARDEE'S CINNAMON RAISIN BISCUITS
When I lived in the mid-west, I use to get these biscuits as a morning breakfast on occasion....well, on more occasions than I should have. I loved the warm tender biscuits with cinnamon swirlled in it and the sweet icing melting down. Having moved to California 12 years ago, I have really missed these as there are no Hardee's out here. I've found a copy cat recipe for it and I'm on cloud 9!! The person who posted this on another site said she use to work at Hardee's so this is the real-deal ! I can't wait to make these for my husband and kids!

RAISIN TEA BISCUITS
Moist, lightly sweet biscuits are just perfect for breakfast or a cup of tea in the afternoon. This is as close as I could get to the store bakery version. My husband and kids loved these just as much as the store bought biscuits. We make a lactose free version with vanilla soy milk and margarine, but have made the milk variety for others. Recipe works perfectly in both options.

HOMEMADE CINNAMON RAISIN BISCUITS
The cooler weather here in Oklahoma has put me in a baking mood. I make these biscuits every Christmas morning. They are so quick and easy to make even though they are homemade. The egg and butter make them special. The smell while they are baking is out of this world. And they are just as good left over for the next mornings...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Butter biscuit pan(s) and set aside. You will need a pan big enough to accomadate 20 biscuits. Combine the first 5 ingredients. Cut in the Crisco shortening till the mixture looks crumbly.
- 2. Add the eggs and milk and mix well. Then fold in the raisins and cinnamon just till they are distributed through the dough. Don't over mix.
- 3. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead a few times. It isn't necessary to knead a lot. Gently pat out the dough to 1" thickness. Cut out with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter or just use a knife and cut dough into 2 to 2 1/2 inch squares. Place the biscuits, touching each other, in the pre-greased pan(s).
- 4. Melt the butter in a small glass bowl and using a pastry brush, liberally brush each biscuit top with the butter. If any is left just pour it over the top. Bake at 450 degrees for 22 to 25 minutes. When done remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Then using the pastry brush, brush the glaze liberally on top of each biscuit. Again, if any is left just pour it on top of the biscuits as you can't have too much glaze. These are great warmed up slightly in the microwave as leftovers. Enjoy.

Steps:
- 1. Set oven to 450 degrees. Measure the baking mix into a large mixing bowl and add the sugar, cinnamon and stir together. Add the softened margarine and cut in with knives or a cutter. When mixed together add the vanilla to the milk and then pour into the baking mix and stir together until it forms a stiff dough. Turn this out onto a floured board and knead about 10 times until it has a good texture.
- 2. Cut into biscuits and place on a greased baking sheet. I spray mine with a butter spray but you could also baste with melted butter or margarine. Then sprinkle the tops with cinnamon and sugar mixture. Bake these about 12 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Remove them from the pan and place on a plate and add your preferred topping. If you use the glaze, mix together the powered sugar, milk and vanilla. Microwave for 30 second intervals until smooth and creamy. I used cream cheese icing and thinned it with 2 tablespons of milk and heated for 30 seconds in the microwave. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and sugar. Blend in shortening with a fork until mixture is fine. Add milk and stir until just mixed. Add raisins and mix. Add cinnamon and mix until swirled through batter. Do not mix batter any more than you have to. Scrape batter onto well floured surface. Flour top and pat down with hands until 1/2-inch thick. Cut with 2-inch cutter and place on greased baking pan. Bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Frost with powdered sugar glaze icing.
Tips:
- Choose the right raisins. Look for plump, juicy raisins that are free of stems and debris. If you're using dried raisins, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before adding them to the dough.
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the biscuits will taste. If you can, use real butter and buttermilk instead of substitutes.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough biscuits. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the biscuits rise and give them a flakier texture.
- Bake the biscuits at a high temperature. This will help them rise quickly and evenly. Bake the biscuits at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
Conclusion:
Raisin biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these classic biscuits fresh from the oven. Serve them warm with butter and honey, or enjoy them as a side dish with your favorite soup or stew.
