Servings: 9 biscuits
Calories: 412kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups (490 g) buttermilk, room temperature
- ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (145 g) raisins, divided
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
Glaze
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk, plus more as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the buttermilk, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in ¾ cup of raisins, reserving ¼ cup for the topping.
- Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish. Carefully spoon or spread the biscuit dough over the butter, smoothing it out gently to reach the edges.
- Sprinkle the reserved raisins on top.
- Score the dough into 9 squares (a 3x3 pattern) using a butter knife. This will help guide your cuts after baking.
- Bake for 28–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the biscuits are baking, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk—½ teaspoon at a time—until it reaches a pourable consistency.
- Once the biscuits are out of the oven, top the warm biscuits with the glaze.
- Let sit for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
