This recipe gives a new meaning to the humble biscuit. Cinnamon, dried fruit and nuts make this perfect for brunch but it's quick enough for everyday.
Iced Cinnamon Biscuit
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix in food processor for a few seconds. Add 1/3 cup cold butter, pulse until Incorporated. Add 3/4 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup dried fruit (I like dates, dried cherries or dried blueberries), 1/4 cup pecans. Pulse until moistened. Turn dough on floured mat, knead 4-5 turns. Roll dough 1/2 inch thick. Cut, bake in a 425 oven for 12-15 minutes.
Drizzle with a glaze made with powdered sugar, cinnamon and cream. Serve warm.
This would be perfect for morning tea with a cuppa!
