  • 2/3 cup golden raisins
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

  • 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons crushed pineapple, well drained and chopped

How To Make carrot cake biscuits and pineapple cinnamon butter

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine carrots and raisins on a cutting board; roughly chop. Whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Add carrots and raisins; toss to combine.
  • Step 2
    Stir in buttermilk with a fork until ingredients are just combined and dough forms a ball. Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead gently 4 to 5 times, sprinkling additional flour as necessary to prevent sticking.
  • Step 3
    Roll or pat dough to 3/4-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, cut 20 rounds from dough, rerolling dough scraps as necessary. Arrange biscuits 1 inch apart on 2 parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes.
  • Step 4
    While biscuits are baking, stir together softened salted butter, well-drained and chopped crushed pineapple, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon with a fork until well combined.
  • Step 5
    Serve the biscuits while they're still warm with Pineapple-Cinnamon Butter. Refrigerate any leftover butter and bring back to room temp to serve.
