Description
Soft, flaky, sweet, and packed with cinnamon-raisin goodness, these homemade biscuits are better than Hardee’s Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits. Perfectly spiced with cinnamon sugar and filled with raisins, they make for a comforting treat fresh from the oven.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 3/4 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Raisins
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter, fork, or hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the raisins evenly.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1-inch thickness. Cut biscuits with a round cutter and place them on the baking sheet.
- Mix cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the tops of the biscuits.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and slightly puffed.
- Cool for a few minutes and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure butter is cold to get that flaky texture.
- For extra richness, replace milk with buttermilk.
- Don’t overmix the dough to avoid dense biscuits.
