I first made these Cream Cheese Biscuits on a Sunday morning when I wanted to make a nice breakfast for the family. They turned out so good that I had to make them again. These biscuits with cream cheese are worth making again and again! What's not to love about fluffy buttery biscuits with amazing cream cheese flavor?

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Grate Butter. Using the shred side of a grater, grate cold butter into a large mixing bowl. Alternately dice the butter and place into the bowl.
Grate Cream Cheese. Grate the cream cheese into the butter. It will be very sticky but that's okay. Just try to separate it with your hands.
Alternately dice the cream cheese and place into the bowl (will still be very sticky).
Add in Flour and Sugar. Add the flour and sugar to the grated butter and cream cheese. Mix together using finger tips or a pastry cutter until well combined.
Add Buttermilk. Pour in the cold buttermilk and mix everything together to form a dough. If it is too sticky, sprinkle on a little flour and mix so it is easier to handle.
Cut Biscuits. Generously flour a working surface. Press the dough onto the surface into 3/4 inch thick. You could equally roll the dough to be 3/4 inch thick. Cut the dough using a biscuit cutter into 2.5 inch circles or cut the dough using the rim of a glass or cup.Gather the leftover dough into a ball, press or roll out into 3/4 inch thick and cut into circles. Repeat process until all of the dough has been cut into circles.
Place Biscuits on Parchment Paper. Place the cut out dough onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake biscuits for 15 minutes. If the top doesn't brown as it bakes, turn on the broiler for the last 1 minute to brown the top. (Do not leave the broiler on for more than 1 minute.)
Serve. Serve warm with your favorite toppings. I love these biscuits as they are or spread with jam or butter.
Notes
1. Here is how to make self-rising flour using all-purpose flour: For every 1 cup of all-purpose or plain flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt to make your own self rising flour.2. Nutritional value is per biscuit.
