Cinnamon-Raisin Yogurt Biscuits

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 (8 ounce) container plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar (optional)
• 1 teaspoon orange juice (optional)

Directions

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Stir white sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Combine half the sugar mixture, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the crumbly mixture; add yogurt and raisins to the well. Stir just until dough clings together.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 8 to 10 times. Roll dough into 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Arrange biscuits on a baking sheet; sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

Whisk confectioners' sugar and orange juice together in a bowl until icing is smooth; drizzle over warm biscuits.
