Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in raisins, then add milk and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface, gently knead, and press to 1-inch thickness. Cut biscuits using a round cutter.
- Place biscuits on baking sheet and bake for 13–15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to form glaze, then drizzle over warm biscuits.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Soaking raisins before adding to dough keeps them juicy.
- Do not overmix to maintain fluffy texture.
- For a flavor twist, add orange zest or a pinch of nutmeg.
