How to Make Frosted Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits
- In a bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients; then cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in buttermilk JUST until moistened. DO NOT OVER MIX!
- Turn onto a floured surface; sprinkle with raisins and cinnamon. Knead 8 to 10 times only (cinnamon will give a marbled appearance).
- Drop batter into 12 mounds 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. (I also like to shape them into thick rounds and place them touching each other in a baking pan which results in more of that gooey goodness that everyone loves about the center cinnamon roll!) Bake at 425 degrees F for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown.
- FROSTING: Whisk the the confectioners' sugar, butter, vanilla and enough warm water to achieve desired consistency. Frost warm biscuits. Serve immediately.
