Cream Cheese Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 T. baking powder
- 1 T. sugar
- ¾ tsp. salt
- 3 ounces very cold cream cheese cut into small pieces
- ¼ cup shortening
- ½ cup green onions finely chopped (I’ve used finely minced yellow onions when I didn’t have green onions)
- ⅔ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the cream cheese and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles.
- Stir in the green onions.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
- Add the milk and stir with a fork to form a soft ball of dough.
- Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 30 seconds.
- Roll or pat the dough to ½-inch thickness and then cut with a biscuit cutter.
- Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until done.
