Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Cold unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Raisins
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the raisins to evenly distribute them throughout the dry mix.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.

Step 8

Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk. Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits, gathering and re-rolling scraps as needed.

Step 9

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden on top.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with butter, jam, or on their own!
