How to Make Cream Cheese Biscuits

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the cold, cubed cream cheese to the bowl and gently mix until just combined. Don't overmix!
Gradually add the milk, mixing until just incorporated. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps to make more biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite spread!
