These are a delicious home version of my bakery's buttermilk biscuits. Rich, sweet and buttery, flaky and perfectly spiced with a hint of cinnamon, the dough works perfectly with dark Thompson raisins and (if you like) even pecans. Read more . Best warm out of the oven but can be frozen and microwaved for a quick nibble.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup quick oats (not instant)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp shortening
2 tbsp cold butter
3/4 cup buttermilk, well shaken
1/3 cup dark raisins
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425F.
2. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Cut in butter and shortening until a coarse-meal texture forms.
4. Pour in buttermilk and mix just until blended, mix in raisins. Do not overwork the dough!
5. Pat out on a floured board, cut with a cookie cutter or rim of a glass and place on ungreased sheets.
6. Bake 12 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking time.
7. Remove immediately to wire rack.
