Cream Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits

[Jarhead]

Now I just gotta pat myself on the back, blow my own whistle, toot my own horn or whatever ya wanna call it. But these are the best tasting biscuits that I have ever made. Bar None.
The original recipe came from Betty's Kitchen and I took it a step further by using buttermilk.

Started off making my own Self Rising Flour. I don't use enough to justify buying a 5# bag of the stuff.
Measured out 2-1/2 cups of the flour into a BIG bowl. I tend to get messy around flour. Chunked up 3 oz of cream cheese and 1/2 stick of butter. Make sure these are cold.
Cut in with a pastry blender that my Mom gave me. I think it may be an antique.



Made a well in the center and added 3/4 cups of buttermilk.



After stirring, kneading and rolling to 1/2" thickness, my hands were too messy to take a pic. I cut them out with a 2" biscuit cutter. Probably another antique from my Mom.
Put them into a greased (sprayed) half sheet pan. Notice the remnents on the end. They were gonna be doggie treats until I tasted one.

Out of the oven



Gotta have some butter on hot biscuits.



What the he!!, drizzle some honey on there too.



Compared to a small spice jar.



Homemade Self Rising Flour

1 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Combine all ingredients and use in place of self rising flour.
May double or triple if more is needed.

Cream Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients:
3 ounce package cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
2-1/2 cups self-rising flour or homemade
3/4 cup buttermilk

Use a pastry blender to cut the cream cheese and butter into flour.
Add milk, and stir, just until flour is moistened.
Turn dough on a floured surface. Knead 4 to 5 times.
Roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter and place on a baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray.
Bake at 425 degrees (F) for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Mine took 10 minutes.

Since this was a trial, I used the oven. Next time pizza stone on the Weber Kettle. Should work in a DO also. Let me know.

Thanks for lookin'. Enjoy!
Now I gotta make some gravy for lunch.

Awesome Gunny! The only thing I would add would be sausage gravy.

Suddenly I have a craving for biscuits. And gravy. And sausage. But I'll settle for some with butter and honey.
