BISCUITS WITH RAISINS RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• In small bowl, mix butter and cinnamon. Separate dough into 8 triangles. Spread each triangle with cinnamon butter. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of the raisins. Roll up, starting at shortest side of triangle, rolling to opposite point. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Curve into crescent shape.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove to cooling rack to cool completely.
• In small bowl, stir powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of the milk. Add more milk as needed until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over cooled crescents.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, use an electric whisk to cream the butter with the sugar until well mixed and just creamy in texture. Do not overwork, or the biscuits will spread during baking.

  Beat in the egg until well combined. Add the flour and mix on a low speed until a dough forms. Gather the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for at least 1 hour.

  Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas 5. Put the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, then roll out to 3mm thick. Cut, by hand or with cookie cutters, to your desired shape. Using a palette knife, transfer the biscuits to a baking tray lined with baking parchment.

  Bake for 12-14 minutes, depending on the size of your biscuits, until golden brown at the edges. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
