Raisin Biscuits

Inspired by Baldur's Gate 3

Ingredients

  • 8 oz raisins
  • ¾ cup bourbon
  • ¼ cup amaretto
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups whole old fashioned rolled oats

Instructions

  • Combine the bourbon and amaretto in an airtight container. Add the raisins and soak for 8 hours or overnight. Drain the next day and discard the liquid.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook while occasionally swirling the butter until it becomes golden brown, about 10 minutes. Pour the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer and let it cool.
  • Add the dark brown sugar, and white sugar and mix. Add the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  • In a small bowl, combine the bread flour, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, baking powder, salt, and oats. Slowly mix into the wet ingredients until well combined. Fold in the raisins.
  • Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Split the dough into 60 gram sized dough balls and place on the parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to a max of 2 days.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and nonstick spray. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet with 2-inches of space between each. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pan once during baking. Allow to cool completely.
