Raining, storming like crazy, didn't sleep well, tired, stressed -
I must have sweets! The raisins surely cancel all the sugar and butter. So I firmly believed at 6 this morning.
Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 ½ cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Stir these 6 ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
Cut in with a pastry blender until very crumbly looking:
1 stick butter (1/2 cup) – NOT softened much
¼ cup Crisco.
Stir in one cup of raisins
One cup of milk
Stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn out onto a lightly floured board, knead a few times. Roll out to one inch thickness and cut with 2 inch biscuit cutter (or in my case - a smallish wine glass works perfectly) OR simply cut into squares. Place on a buttered baking sheet and place into preheated oven. Check in about 13 minutes take out of oven when biscuits are beginning to turn golden brown.
Mix together 1 1/2 cups sifted confectioner’s sugar and 2 tablespoons milk or orange juice. Drizzle topping over warm biscuits – remove biscuits to serving platter and serve warm.
Recipe was adapted from a Southern Living cookbook published in 1999.

Yummmy! That is at least 5 servings of fruits no need for more for at least a week haha

Save me one, LindaSue, I'm comin' over!
Wouldn't that be fun? We could sit and talk animals and God and flowers and eat a dozen - no I must mean ONE biscuit. These things are diet killers but if you want someone to think you are the bee's knees - this is it. Very tender and flavorful. Is you aren't raisin fans - dried cranberries and/or toasted chopped pecans are heavenly. Thanks for coming by! It's storming like crazy here - goats just ran the Kentucky derby from front pastures to the sheds in our pens! They are afraid of rain.
I'm laughing at myself - the correct phrase would be: IF you aren't raisin fans
these sound wonderful! can hardly wait to make some....I can smell them now...yummy.....
