  • In a large bowl, combine half of the sugar-cinnamon mixture, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  • Cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center.

  • Add yogurt and raisins all at once, stirring just until dough clings together.

  • On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently for 8 to 10 strokes. Roll or pat dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter, dipping the cutter into the flour between cuts.

  • Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture. Bake in a 450 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Remove from baking sheet and cool slightly on wire racks.

  • Stir together the powdered sugar and enough water or juice to make a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over biscuits while they're warm. Serve warm. Makes 12 biscuits.
