Do not be intimidated by homemade biscuits. These simple biscuits can be whipped up in about 30 minutes with one big bowl, flour, some cold butter, cream cheese, buttermilk and a pinch of baking soda for extra lift.

I keep saying I am going to eat less white flour and fewer carbs, but I love to bake. Be it bread, pie or pizza. I love working with all kinds of dough- pie dough, pizza dough and oh my- biscuit dough.




Cold, cubed butter and cream cheese make the dough come together quickly. I like to scatter the cold ingredients into the bowl then work it with my hands, pour in the buttermilk and stir with a scraper until nice and shaggy. Pour the dough out onto a large piece of plastic to bring the dough together.

If you do not have SALTED butter, use about 1 tsp of sea salt. I prefer White Lily because it has a low protein count. If you cannot find White Lily in your local store, order it online HERE or use a flour with a low protein around 8.5%.
