Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups Raisins
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the whole milk and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, gently stirring just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Use a round biscuit cutter (or a similar tool) to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm biscuits and serve immediately.
