Description
If you are looking for a cinnamon-raisin biscuit that tastes like the pros, you have to try these amazing biscuits baked in an iron skillet. I've tried many other recipes but they didn't come close. I came up with this recipe myself and I must say there pretty darn close to the pros.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups all-purpose baking mix (such as Bisquick®)
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup raisins
- ⅓ cup butter-flavored shortening (such as Crisco®)
- ¾ cup milk
- ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Add oil to a skillet and place in the oven to heat.
- 2. Combine baking mix, sugar, cinnamon, and raisins in a medium-sized bowl and mix well. Cut in shortening using a fork until crumbly. Add milk until a soft dough form and mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- 3. Knead dough on a floured surface until no longer sticky. Press dough out using fingers to 1/2-inch thick. Use a 2 1/2-inch round cutter to cut out about 10 biscuits.
- 4. Remove skillet from the oven and place biscuits in the hot oil with sides touching.
- 5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- 6. While biscuits bake, mix confectioners' sugar and milk together in a bowl. Frost biscuits while still warm and serve.
