Instructions: Heat oven to 450 . Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and baking soda. Using pastry blender or fork, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in raisins. Stirring with fork, add enough buttermilk until mix leaves sides of bowl and soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto floured surface; knead lightly until no longer sticky. Roll out 1/2" thick; cut with 2-1/2" round, flour covered cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet with sides touching. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes on wire rack. Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine powdered sugar and enough milk for desired consistency. Frost warm biscuits and serve immediately.

HIGH ALTITUDE: Above 3500 feet - no change.

NOTE: Regular all purpose flour can be used by adding 3 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt to ingredients.
