½ cup vegetable shortening.
04 -
2 teaspoons baking powder.
05 -
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
06 -
½ cup granulated sugar.
07 -
3 cups all-purpose flour.

⅔ cup raisins.

# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven to 400°F and put parchment paper on a baking sheet.
02 -
In a big bowl, toss together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
03 -
Use a pastry blender to cut the shortening into the mix until it's nice and crumbly.
04 -
Gently stir raisins and buttermilk into the mix until the dough sticks together. Add extra buttermilk if it's still too dry.
05 -
On a floured counter, roll out dough to ¾ inch thickness. Use a 3-inch cutter to cut shapes—don't twist it!

# Notes:

Soak the raisins in hot water beforehand.
02 -
Cold ingredients give the best results.
