Delicious Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits Recipe for Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
14
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 3 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup raisins (or currants)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and granulated sugar.

    Sifting the dry ingredients can help remove lumps.
  3. Cut in Butter

    Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.

    Use a pastry cutter or your fingers for best results.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Make sure the buttermilk is cold for flakier biscuits.
  5. Form the Dough

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the raisins.

    Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  6. Shape Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut out biscuits.

    Use a sharp cutter for clean edges.
  7. Bake

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

    Brush with melted butter before serving for extra flavor.
