In my Kitchen Aid stand mixer with the dough blade I combines (in order) egg, almond extract, salt, honey, baking powder, and ¼ buttermilk. Add a cup of flour at a time alternating with buttermilk ¼ cup at a time: 1 cup APF, ¼ cup buttermilk, 1 cup WWF, ¼ cup buttermilk, 1 cup APF, ¼ cup buttermilk, 1 cup WWF. Cut in butter.
3. Turn dough out onto floured surface. Roll out (coat in butter if you wish, but I didn’t) and sprinkle half with cinnamon-sugar. Spread raisins onto cinnamon-sugar dough. Fold plain dough over onto the cinnamon-sugar-raisin coated dough. Cut into desired circle size (mine were mini and about 1” in diameter). With remaining dough roll into balls (or pancake or hand formed biscuit) and cook with form-cut biscuits.
4. Bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool while you clean your stand mixer equipment and you make the frosting.
5. In your clean stand mixer bowl combine all frosting ingredients with whisk attachment. When smooth check to be sure biscuits are cool and pour onto.
