My wife asked me to make biscuits to go with dinner this evening. I measured the flour into a bowl, added a little butter and went to get the shortening, but discovered we are out. I searched and searched, but could not find any. I did, however, find some cream cheese. Never heard of putting cream cheese in buttermilk biscuits, but figured what the heck. I used 2 cups of self rising flour, 2 tbsp butter, 1/4 c cream cheese and added 1 cup buttermilk after the previous ingredients were combined. Cooked at 425 for 10 minutes.
WOW. These were the best biscuits I have ever had in my life. Being a born and raised Southern boy, that's saying a lot. Very moist, but didn't have a cream cheese taste. The texture was absolutely perfect. Just the way a homemade buttermilk biscuit should be.
I would have taken pictures, but my wife and daughter finished them off with some peach jelly.
The next time any of you guys make biscuits, substitute some cream cheese for the shortening. IT MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. It is now my go to biscuit recipe.
