Cut cream cheese and butter into flour with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead 3 or 4 times.
Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Make 6 slits through dough around edges of each biscuit to 1/4 inch from center. Press thumb in center of each biscuit, leaving an indentation. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon marmalade or jam into each biscuit indentation. Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Yields 28 biscuits. |
