Ingredients for Cream Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits
You can make these delicious biscuits up in no time! You should already have all of the ingredients in your pantry. For exact measurements, scroll to the bottom of the post.
All Purpose Flour: The main ingredient that provides structure. Baking Powder: Helps the biscuit’s texture remain fluffy and airy. Salt: Enhances the flavors. Cold Unsalted Butter: Adds a depth of flavor and creamy richness. Cream Cheese: The secret ingredient that sets these biscuits apart. It adds a tangy flavor and a soft, fluffy texture. Cold Buttermilk: Adds to the tanginess and delicious flavor while keeping the biscuits from being dry. Melted Butter: Spread on top of the biscuits before baking to give them a golden brown top.
How to Make Cream Cheese Biscuits
You can make these cream cheese biscuits in just 30 minutes. They are easy to make, and your family will love scarfing these down for brunch or an after-school snack. Follow my steps below to ensure they turn out perfect!
COLD Cream Cheese and Butter: Be sure you are using cold butter and cream cheese, if they are too warm you won’t get flaky layers and the biscuits will be chewy Don’t Over Knead Dough: When you are kneading the dough together don’t overwork it. Handling the dough too much will create tough dough and warm the butter and cream cheese too much. The dough should just come together enough for you to roll out. How To Make Buttermilk: If you don’t have buttermilk you can make some by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup milk. Stir the vinegar and milk together and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. I prefer whole milk but 2% can also be used.
