These Buttermilk Biscuits are light, fluffy, buttery, and addicting.  They are oozing with the south, and costing less than $2 you can afford to eat more than one!  I made a double batch of these for the family the day after thanksgiving and there were no leftovers.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 500F.
2. Add the cold cream cheese and butter to the flour and mix it together, breaking the butter and cream cheese up into clumps with your fingers until it looks crumbly.
3. Slowly add the buttermilk, a little at a time, until the dough is slightly sticky. You might not need a whole cup so don't add it all at once. Continue adding until the dough is slightly sticky and moist.
4. Roll the dough onto a floured surface to a 3/4 inch thick layer. Cut with a 1.5-2inch diameter glass (however big you want your biscuits).
5. Place biscuits into an un-greased pan(cast iron works well) and place in oven. Immediately turn the oven down to 425F.
6. Bake for 10 minutes and then rub butter on the tops of the biscuits to help them brown. The butter should melt onto the tops as you rub a cold stick onto them.
7. Bake for 5-10 more minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
