Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing your raisins in a bowl of hot water and letting them soak for 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Grate in the cold butter and mix gently with buttermilk and raisins.
  3. Transfer the slightly sticky dough onto a floured surface. Roll out to about 3/4 inch thick, fold, and repeat to create layers.
  4. Cut biscuits with a floured cutter and place on a greased baking dish, ensuring space between each.
  5. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. While baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and vanilla extract.
  7. Cool the biscuits for about 10 minutes before drizzling with glaze.
