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 found this online when I was searching for a copycat for Hardee's Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits. I also add a glaze of powdered sugar, butter, and milk to the top of them after they are finished baking to make it more like the kind from Hardees. I didn't post the recipe for it because I don't have exact measurements, I just wing it! My hubby and I enjoy them and I hope you do too!

  • Serve the biscuits warm, with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
