Cooking Tips

• Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces for the best texture in the biscuit dough.
• Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in tough biscuits. Mix until just combined.
• You can use a spoon or your hands to fold the dough over the cream cheese filling. Just make sure to seal the edges well.

Storage and Serving

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
