Cinnamon Biscuits

I've been neglecting this site, but I found a recipe that I didn't want to lose, so I figured it would be easiest just to add it here. I found it in a No Greater Joy magazine. It has to be one of the most fattening things on earth, but it is so good, and it's going to be so hard not to go make this right after I type it. Idea! Maybe I can make it for Ray to bring to work, that way it doesn't stay here and I don't eat them all. aha!

Mix together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 2 cups of self-rising flour. Stir in 3/4 cup of buttermilk. Do not over-stir. Scrape out onto floured surface, sprinkle with flour, and lightly pat down. Sprinkle onto the dough about 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup raisins (I omitted these), 1/2 cup chopped pecans, and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon. Fold dough over 3 or 4 times. Don't over fold. Pat it down lightly, then, using a cup as a cutter, cut out your biscuits. Bake at 450 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix 2/3 cup melted butter, 1 to 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/2 cup of cream. Pour over very hot cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!
