Copycat Hardee's Cinnamon "Flake" Biscuits
Mixture
1 box Kellogg's bran flakes, (1 ounce)
1 Tbs cinnamon
2 Tbs brown sugar, packed
2 Tbs butter, melted
Biscuit Dough
2 1/2 cups Bisquick
2 Tbs sugar
1/2 cup dark raisins
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup tonic water
1/2 tsp vanilla
MIXTURE- Empty the box of cereal into blender. Add in cinnamon and brown
sugar and pulse on high speed, for about 3 seconds or until crumbled,
but not powdered. Empty into small bowl. Stir in melted butter with a
fork. Set aside.
BISCUIT DOUGH- Using a 2-qt mixing bowl. Stir Bisquick together with
sugar and raisins. Put buttermilk, Tonic water and vanilla into a
measuring cup, and pour into Bisquick mixture. Use a fork to mix
until all of the liquid is absorbed. Then knead in the bowl with hands,
dipping into additional Bisquick, to make dough smooth and no longer
stick. Break dough up into 5 portions in the bowl - sprinkle the
"Flake" mixture over the dough and then work it in until most of it is
evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide dough into 12 equal parts and shape each into 1/2... thick patty,
arranging close together in Pam-sprayed 12... round or oven-proof
skillet (or use 2 8... round layer cake pans). Bake at 400F for 25
minutes or until golden brown. Remove pan to wire rack and wipe tops
with icing.
ICING- In small bowl with electric mixer on high speed, beat 2 tbs
melted butter, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 tbs sour cream, dash of salt and 1-1/2 c
powdered sugar until smooth.
Place a rounded tbs of icing atop each biscuit right out of the oven.
The heat of the biscuit will soften the icing just enough that you can
swirl it around to coat the tops nicely, letting the icing stand on the
warm biscuits half a minute before spreading it.
Refrigerate any leftover icing in covered container to use within 2
weeks.
