This recipe for Cream Cheese Biscuits couldn’t be any easier. 

The first step when making these yummy cream cheese biscuits is to combine all of the ingredients together (except for the buttermilk) in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Transfer the flour mixture to a large mixing bowl and stir in the buttermilk until combined. The dough may appear slightly dry. 

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until the dough is soft and smooth. You may need to keep adding a little flour from time to time to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands or work surface. Shape into a round ball.

Roll Out Dough

With a lightly floured rolling pin and a working surface, roll the dough out to about 3/4 inch thickness.

Cut Biscuits

Cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter (I used a medium-size) and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

One recipe makes sixteen to seventeen medium-size round biscuits. *** Unbaked cut biscuits can be refrigerated on a baking sheet, covered with plastic wrap, for one day. To finish, preheat the oven and bake as directed.

Bake

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F and bake the Cream Cheese Biscuits until light brown, approximately 12 – 15 minutes. When finished baking, transfer to a wire rack, brush the tops with melted butter and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
