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.
