CREAM CHEESE BISCUITS
Cream cheese biscuits are perfect for appetizers, kids love them and a great addition to any meal. Serve these cream cheese biscuits with a piece of country ham to guests, for breakfast with jams and jellies or just anytime for a great snack. I love these biscuits and they are easy to make. These biscuits would be wonderful for any gathering like a bridal shower, baby shower, brunch, etc.
Cream cheese biscuits simple ingredients:
All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Salt
Sugar
Baking soda
Cream cheese, softened
Butter
Buttermilk (could use regular milk)
I used a 2 inch square and a 2 inch round biscuit cutter but if you don’t have these, roll out the dough and use a pizza cutter to make them square. Most recipes for these biscuits call for 3 ounces of cream cheese but I use 4 ounces in mine. Cream cheese works really well in this recipe and these biscuits even reheat well the next day.

Cream Cheese Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 4 tablespoons butter or 1/4 cup or 1/2 stick softened
- 1 cup buttermilk could use regular milk
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and baking soda. Cut in the softened cream cheese and butter until you have coarse crumbs. (I put my cream cheese and butter in a bowl and microwave about 30 seconds to soften it. You don't want it melted, just softened, and microwaves vary. If you try this just do it a few seconds at a time until it feels soft when you touch it.)
- Add the milk and mix into a dough. Turn out onto a floured surface. Add enough flour until you can handle and knead the dough. Knead until it is elastic and you can roll it out to about 1/2 inch. Cut out your biscuits and place on sprayed baking sheet. Bake in preheated 425 degree oven 15-20 minutes. I got exactly 28 biscuits using the 2 inch cutters. I do brush tops with melted butter but it's not necessary
