When I lived in the mid-west, I use to get these biscuits as a morning breakfast on occasion....well, on more occasions than I should have. I loved the warm tender biscuits with cinnamon swirlled in it and the sweet icing melting down. Having moved to California 12 years ago, I have really missed these as there are no Hardee's out here. I've found a copy cat recipe for it and I'm on cloud 9!! The person who posted this on another site said she use to work at Hardee's so this is the real-deal ! I can't wait to make these for my husband and kids!

CINNAMON RAISIN BISCUITS



Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits image

These are so easy and delicious! We like them as much as donuts and you can easily make them low calorie.

Provided by Lynne Lee

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 c baking mix (bisquick)
1 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c raisins
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp margarine - softened
2/3 c powered sugar
1 Tbsp milk
1/4 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Set oven to 450 degrees. Measure the baking mix into a large mixing bowl and add the sugar, cinnamon and stir together. Add the softened margarine and cut in with knives or a cutter. When mixed together add the vanilla to the milk and then pour into the baking mix and stir together until it forms a stiff dough. Turn this out onto a floured board and knead about 10 times until it has a good texture.
  • 2. Cut into biscuits and place on a greased baking sheet. I spray mine with a butter spray but you could also baste with melted butter or margarine. Then sprinkle the tops with cinnamon and sugar mixture. Bake these about 12 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Remove them from the pan and place on a plate and add your preferred topping. If you use the glaze, mix together the powered sugar, milk and vanilla. Microwave for 30 second intervals until smooth and creamy. I used cream cheese icing and thinned it with 2 tablespons of milk and heated for 30 seconds in the microwave. Enjoy!

HOMEMADE CINNAMON RAISIN BISCUITS



Homemade Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits image

The cooler weather here in Oklahoma has put me in a baking mood. I make these biscuits every Christmas morning. They are so quick and easy to make even though they are homemade. The egg and butter make them special. The smell while they are baking is out of this world. And they are just as good left over for the next mornings...

Provided by Yvonne Elliott

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 3/4 c all purpose flour
4 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 c sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 c crisco shortening
2 eggs, beaten slightly
1 1/2 c milk
1 c raisins
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c butter, melted
POWDERED SUGAR GLAZE
1 1/4 c powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp butter or margarine, softened
1 - 3 tsp water, to obtain desired consistancy

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Butter biscuit pan(s) and set aside. You will need a pan big enough to accomadate 20 biscuits. Combine the first 5 ingredients. Cut in the Crisco shortening till the mixture looks crumbly.
  • 2. Add the eggs and milk and mix well. Then fold in the raisins and cinnamon just till they are distributed through the dough. Don't over mix.
  • 3. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead a few times. It isn't necessary to knead a lot. Gently pat out the dough to 1" thickness. Cut out with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter or just use a knife and cut dough into 2 to 2 1/2 inch squares. Place the biscuits, touching each other, in the pre-greased pan(s).
  • 4. Melt the butter in a small glass bowl and using a pastry brush, liberally brush each biscuit top with the butter. If any is left just pour it over the top. Bake at 450 degrees for 22 to 25 minutes. When done remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Then using the pastry brush, brush the glaze liberally on top of each biscuit. Again, if any is left just pour it on top of the biscuits as you can't have too much glaze. These are great warmed up slightly in the microwave as leftovers. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and cutting. This will help prevent the biscuits from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. If the dough is too thick, the biscuits will be dense and doughy. If the dough is too thin, the biscuits will be crispy and crumbly.
  • Cut the biscuits into 2-inch rounds. You can use a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife.
  • Place the biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet. Make sure the biscuits are not touching each other, or they will stick together.
  • Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
  • Let the biscuits cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

These cinnamon raisin biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover cinnamon and raisins. With their sweet and spicy flavor, these biscuits are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or side dish, give these cinnamon raisin biscuits a try!
