Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix cinnamon and NutraSweet in a shaker bottle.
- Slice margarine very thinly over the top of the dough.
- Sprinkle with the cinnamon and NutraSweet mixture until the surface is completely covered.
- Roll the dough jelly roll fashion into a log.
- Cut the rolled dough into 1/2-inch slices.
- Place the slices in a pan and sprinkle with more cinnamon and NutraSweet mixture.
- Bake at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes or until browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using almond milk instead of skim milk. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Ensure the margarine is very cold for easier slicing and better incorporation into the dough. Experiment with other dried fruits like cranberries or chopped nuts for added texture, as seen in some vegetarian recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These cinnamon raisin biscuits are delightful served warm with a spread of light cream cheese or a dollop of applesauce. They pair beautifully with a cup of herbal tea or coffee for a satisfying snack. For a hearty breakfast, enjoy them alongside scrambled eggs or a fruit salad. They also make a great addition to brunch spreads featuring dishes like Jeanne'S Butterhorns.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to a month. To reheat, place biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
