2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chilled butter or stick margarine, cut into small pieces

Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl; cut in margarine with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add raisins; toss well. Add 3/4 cup milk; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
