How to Make Cream Cheese Biscuit

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 4 ounces (113g) cold cream cheese, using a pastry blender or two knives, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add 1 cup buttermilk, stirring gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead and fold 5-6 times until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking.
  6. Pat or roll the dough to 3/4-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits.
  7. Place biscuits close together on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  9. Serve warm with butter and your favorite jam or honey.
