Fluffy and tender

I enjoy making biscuits almost as much as I enjoy making pound cakes. And, I like making pound cakes! I have tested all the classics, Whipping Cream, Sour Cream, Cream Cheese, Eggnog, Million Dollar, Mile High, Blue Ribbon and more for my Pound Cakes Reviewed Series.

I’ve also shared several biscuit recipes with you. (See some of them pictured below.) Now, I’m in love with a new biscuit recipe:
This is a great basic biscuit recipe. They are perfect for a savory sandwich, slathered with peach jam, or served on the side with your meal.

Cream Cheese Buttermilkย Biscuits Tips
- First of all, your
butter andcream cheese must be cold. Place them in the freezer for 30 minutes per recipes instructions. - Measure your flour correctly using the โspoon and levelโ method. I wroteย this post on how to measure flour correctly.ย If needed, you may want to refresh the method. Measuring flour incorrectly can result in as much as 150% more flour than is called for!
- Additionally, use good quality ingredients. I recommend using a name-brand
butter and flour. - I recommend using real
butter , not margarine orbutter substitute - As well, use regular
cream cheese , not lower-fat varieties. - Finally,ย the last tip I have for making these biscuits, be certain to cut the
butter andcream cheese into the flour really well. You don’t want a big clump ofcream cheese in the baked biscuit. If you were to have a larger piece ofbutter , it would melt in the baking process. However, a cube ofcream cheese will not melt. Then you son bites into it, makes a terrible face, and refuses to eat any more. I may or may not know that to be a fact. ๐
