Cream Cheese Biscuits Recipe Details:

• Preparation time: 20 minutes
• Cooking time: 15 minutes
• Servings: 8-10 biscuits
• Equipment: Mixing bowl, pastry cutter, baking sheet, biscuit cutter

This incredible biscuit recipe brings bakery-quality comfort to your home kitchen with minimal effort.

Ingredients:

For the Biscuit Base:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 4 ounces cream cheese, cold and cubed
• ¾ cup buttermilk, chilled
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 1 tablespoon melted butter, for brushing (optional)

Directions:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This preparation step ensures your biscuits won't stick and will bake perfectly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Take your time to ensure all dry ingredients are well combined.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter and cream cheese to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter and cream cheese into the flour. Continue until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
4. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the chilled buttermilk and honey (if using). Stir gently with a wooden spoon just until the dough comes together. Remember, a few dry spots are perfectly okay.
5. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about ½-inch thick. Fold the dough over itself like a letter, then pat it out again. Repeat this folding process two more times to create beautiful, flaky layers.
6. Roll or pat the dough to about ¾-inch thickness. Use a floured biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting. Gather the scraps and gently pat them together to cut out additional biscuits.
7. Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. For soft sides, place them touching; for crispier edges, space them slightly apart.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops turn a beautiful golden brown. If desired, brush the tops with melted butter immediately after removing from the oven.
