Chef Dudo's Note:

These are rich biscuits (from the cheese). Served warm they melt in your mouth.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
3. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the cream cheese until the mixture forms coarse pieces
4. Add buttermilk and stir the mixture with a fork until most of the dry ingredients have been moistened.
5. Turn the batter onto the counter and knead and fold until the dough is formed.
6. Do not knead longer than necessary

these were pretty good, definately better warm and not too good the next day. they are very wet and i couldnt get mine to a kneading consistancy so i just made drop biscuits instead.

These are very good biscuits. I expected to taste some cream cheese, but did not. Because of cream cheese in these biscuits, they are a bit more wet than other biscuits I've tried. Thank you Chef Dudo for posting this wonderful recipe.
