House - Made Oatmeal Buttermilk Bikkies

Biscuit  Bread 

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup quick oats (not instant)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp shortening
• 2 tbsp cold butter
• 3/4 cup buttermilk, well shaken
• 1/3 cup dark raisins

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Cut in butter and shortening until a coarse-meal texture forms.

Pour in buttermilk and mix just until blended, mix in raisins. Do not overwork the dough!

Pat out on a floured board, cut with a cookie cutter or rim of a glass and place on ungreased sheets.

Bake 12 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking time.

Remove immediately to wire rack.

These are a delicious home version of my bakery's buttermilk biscuits. Rich, sweet and buttery, flaky and perfectly spiced with a hint of cinnamon, the dough works perfectly with dark Thompson raisins and (if you like) even pecans. Best warm out of the oven but can be frozen and microwaved for a quick nibble.
