Della says she made this recipe one time when she was making biscuits and wanted to do something different,the only fruit she had was prunes,so that's what she used.She loved them and has been making them for many years now.She says she makes them plain also but still glazes them.She has a sweet tooth,like me! She calls them biscuits but they were like scones,they were so light! DELICIOUS! She says she makes them like this so she doesn't have to roll them and cut them. Della says she likes to cut the prunes small with kitchen scissors sprayed with Pam.

How To Make della's glazed prune biscuits
-
1Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add the butter into the mixture. Using a pastry blender or two knives, mix the dough until it's like coarse meal. In another bowl, combine the milk or cream, egg, and vanilla . Combine the wet mixture to the dry mixture, don't over mix,just until it comes together. Fold in the prunes. Form the dough into a ball about 8 inches and flatten till it's about 1/2 inch thick and place on the baking pan. Cut into 8 pieces using a sharp knife. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown. While biscuits are baking, combine the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Once biscuits are done, drizzle glaze on top.
