Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits

[w_r_ranch]

4 cups self-rising flour
3/4 cup butter
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup raisins

Mix flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda & sugar.

Blend in shortening with a fork until mixture is fine.

Add milk & stir until just mixed. Add raisins & mix.

Add cinnamon and mix until swirled through batter (do not mix batter any more than you have to).

Scrape batter onto well floured surface. Flour top & pat down with hands until 1/2-inch thick.

Cut with 2-inch cutter & place on greased baking pan (I use parchment paper).

Bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Frost with powdered sugar glaze icing. Enjoy!!!

Most of the time, I use my 'field camera' which is a Panasonic FZ30. I also use a Nikon D3 for shots that are important/very detailed.
