This recipe is a real family favourite. These cinnamon raisin biscuits are actually an old Weight Watcher's recipe.  Whether you're looking of a low calorie treat or not, these quick and easy biscuits are so delicious you will love them.

We often make this cinnamon raisin biscuits recipe on a weekend morning for breakfast. My girls love the sweet taste, especially warm biscuits from the oven, but my husband and I love them because they're an old Weight Watchers recipe only 3 ww.pts+ per biscuit. I love something so yummy, that doesn't leave you feeling too naughty.  These are the perfect biscuits to enjoy over a second cup of coffee.  The flaky layers and plump raisins and warm cinnamon make these sweet biscuits such a favorite.

These biscuits are very quick and easy to make.  No stand mixer necessary.  These easy cinnamon raisin biscuits come together in just a few minutes.  Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut in the butter.  This process helps make these into delicious flaky biscuits.  Stir them into until a soft dough forms, but don't over mix.  

Another tip for making tender flaky biscuits, is to divide the dough into two, and then pat or roll out into two disks.  Instead of using a round biscuit cutter to make the biscuits, just use a sharp knife to cut the disks into 4.  This process means you don't have to reroll the biscuit dough to cut more biscuits, and makes more tender biscuits with no wasted biscuit dough.

Raisins

For juicy raisins, a little trick it to soak the raisins in some warm water for about 30 min. before using them in baking.  This process rehydrates the raisins making them plump and juicy.  If you are in a rush, you can speed up the process by placing the raisins in a microwave safe bowl and adding the raisins and water to cover plus an inch.  Microwave on high for 1 minute, and then let sit 5 minutes in the hot water before draining.    

Sweet Glaze

These cinnamon raisin biscuits are covered with a simple glaze.  The glaze adds a sweetness to the biscuits. and is the perfect finishing touch.  The glaze is very light, but easy to drizzle over the biscuits.  Be sure to drizzle the glaze over the biscuits on plate, or piece of parchment paper, as the glaze will drip off of the sides of the warm baked biscuits.

Storage

If you have any leftover cinnamon raisin biscuits, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

Options

Instead of the glaze drizzled over the top of the cinnamon raisins biscuits, you could use cinnamon sugar.  Mix together ½ teaspoon cinnamon with 2 teaspoon of white sugar.  Before baking the biscuits, brush the biscuits with a little milk using a pastry brush and then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar of the top of them.  The cinnamon sugar will add a nice little crunch to the top of the baked biscuits.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
