Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 1-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • frosting:
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 to 5 tsp warm water

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; sprinkle with raisins and cinnamon. Knead 8-10 times (cinnamon will have a marbled appearance).
  2. Drop batter into 12 mounds 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown.
  3. For frosting, combine the sugar, butter, vanilla and enough water to achieve desired consistency. Frost warm biscuits. Serve immediately. Yield: 1 dozen.
