Cream cheese doesn't just add tanginess to biscuits—it also adds a unique combination of moisture and fat that creates a more tender, fluffy biscuit than those enriched with butter alone. It's just one of many best kept biscuit baker's secrets.
Cinnamon-Raisin Biscuits

Cinnamon adds warm flavor. Raisins are juicy and tart. The biscuits are buttery and rich. And everything is brought together by a vanilla-rich glaze. This biscuit is the perfect combination of spice and sweet, buttery and flaky.

The combination of sweet potatoes and buttermilk makes for a hard-to-beat fluffy biscuit that tastes even better when served with a generous amount of honey and butter.
