Biscuit Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Cut in vegetable shortening using a pastry blender or a fork until mixture is crumbly.
Stir in raisins and buttermilk, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Add more buttermilk if mixture seems too dry.
Roll dough to about ¾ inch thickness on a lightly floured surface and cut with a biscuit cutter. Don't twist while cutting.
Place biscuits a few inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 10-15 minutes for regular biscuits and 6-8 minutes for mini biscuits.
To make the glaze, combine powdered sugar, milk, vegetable oil, and cinnamon in a small bowl and stir until completely mixed.
Drizzle or dip the tops of the biscuits in the glaze. Enjoy!
