Cinnamon Raisin Buttermilk Biscuits


This is my absolute favorite biscuit recipe ever.  It's in the America's Test Kitchen cookbook, and it is my tried and true best loved ever.  This time though, I decided to add cinnamon and raisins to the dough to change things up a bit.  These biscuits blew me away!  My Hungry Puppies were in heaven!  Crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside and bursting with cinnamon and raisins, I didn't want to stop eating them!

Cinnamon Raisin Buttermilk Biscuits

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter
3/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup cold buttermilk

Preheat the oven to 450F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, stir together the all purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.  Cut in the butter using a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form.  Stir in the raisins.  Add the buttermilk and stir together until evenly moistened.  Scoop out pieces of the dough and drop onto the prepared baking sheet.  

Place the biscuits in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned.  Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack.  Makes 12 biscuits.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
