Ingredients

Ingredients for the biscuits:

  • 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 stick cold butter + 2 tbsp set aside
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 cup whole milk

Ingredients for the Cinnamon Icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2-3 tbsp milk

Instructions

Biscuits

  • Preheat a cast-iron skillet and oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
    To make the biscuits, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, raisins, and cinnamon in a bowl and whisk.
    Cut the ½ stick of butter into small cubes.
    Stir the butter cubes into the flour mixture.
    Stir in the milk just until the biscuit mixture comes together.  Be careful to not over-mix as the biscuits will become tough.
    Melt the 2 tbsp of reserved butter.  Brush into the pre-heated skillet.
    Scoop biscuit mixture by large spoonfuls into the skillet. Brush additional butter on top of each biscuit.
    Bake the biscuits for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown (baking times may vary depending on how large the biscuits are, so your time may be less or more).

Cinnamon Icing

  • To make the icing, combine the powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and milk in a bowl.  Using a whish or hand-mixer, mix until the icing is smooth and creamy.
    Top the biscuits with the icing, using as little or as much as you like.

Notes

Baking times may vary (less or more) depending on the size of the biscuits.  The yield will also vary depending on the size of biscuits.
