Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, cold
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Cut the cold unsalted butter and cream cheese into small cubes. Add them to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter and cream cheese into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the whole milk into the bowl and gently mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense biscuits.
Lightly flour a clean surface and transfer the dough onto it. Knead it gently 4-5 times, just until it comes together.
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round. Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter to cut out as many biscuits as possible, re-rolling the scraps as necessary.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are touching slightly for a higher rise.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the biscuits are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These biscuits are best enjoyed warm with butter, jams, or gravy!
