I was surprised at how light and flaky these biscuits turned out! The cream cheese really worked well and I couldn't tell a difference from normal butter biscuits. Instead of adding the jam, I mixed in a cup of shredded cheese to make cheese biscuits. They were delicious, especially straight from the oven!

Wow, these biscuits were super YUMMY!!! I liked their flaky yet soft interior paired with slightly crunchy edges and their lovely taste! The jam adds a nice touch and makes these biscuits stand out! I used blueberry as that's what I had on hand and it turned out lovely! I will surely make this wonderful recipe again! THANKS A LOT for sharing it with us, Luvin' Texas!

These were so good! I loved the cream cheese, I used half whole wheat flour because I ran out of AP. I made a homemade gravy instead of using the jam but will try it next time. Thanks for a great recipe!

These are lovely biscuits Luvin' Texas. Tall, light, fluffy, and very flavourful, we really enjoyed the addition of the jam. They were great last night with dinner. We had the rest toasted for breakfast this morning. Thanks for sharing your treat...with your pac mom
