Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the dough. If you don’t have raisins, dried cranberries or chopped dates can be excellent substitutes. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick. Ensure the milk is at room temperature for better mixing.
Serving Suggestions
These cinnamon-raisin biscuits are delightful served warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Serve alongside a fruit salad or yogurt for a wholesome meal. For a more indulgent treat, consider serving with a side of Cherry Dip.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the biscuits chewy rather than fluffy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these biscuits?
Yes, you can freeze the baked biscuits. Allow them to cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They will keep well for up to 3 months. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature and reheat in the oven.
What can I use instead of milk?
If you're out of milk or need a dairy-free option, you can substitute it with almond milk, soy milk, or any other non-dairy milk. The flavor may slightly vary, but it will still yield delicious biscuits.
How do I know when the biscuits are done?
The biscuits are done when they turn golden brown on the top and are firm to the touch. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they are ready to be taken out of the oven.
