Cinnamon Raisin or Cranberry Orange Biscuits


By Erin Taylor

I used to work at Hardee's restaurant. About the only good thing about it was the smell of their yummy warm Cinnamon Raisin biscuits in the mornings. Here is my version, and a twist with dried cranberries and orange! Try them and see which one your family loves best! (Use the variations for the cranberry orange version.)

2 1/2 C. Bisquick mix
3/4 C. milk
1/4 C. butter
1/4 C. sugar
1/2 C. raisins (variation: dried cranberries)
1 tsp. cinnamon (variation: 1/2 tsp. ground cloves)
1 tsp. vanilla (variation: orange extract and 1 tbsp. grated orange peel)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees, Mix all ingredients together and drop by heaping spoonfulls onto cookie sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown on top. Glaze and serve. Makes about 8.

Glaze:
1 C. powdered sugar
3 tbsp. milk (variation: orange juice concentrate)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. butter, softened
dash cinnamon
