FLUFFY CREAM CHEESE BISCUITS

Fluffy Cream Cheese Biscuits
Ingredients
            1 (1/4-oz.) envelope active dry yeast
            1/4 cup warm water (105° to 115°)
            5 cups all-purpose flour
            2 tablespoons sugar
            1 tablespoon baking powder
            1 teaspoon baking soda
            1 teaspoon salt
            1 (8-oz.) package cold cream cheese, cut into pieces
            1/2 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
            1 1/4 cups buttermilk
            Parchment paper
            2 tablespoons butter, melted
Preparation
.                 1. Preheat oven to 400°. Combine yeast and warm water in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
.                 2. Meanwhile, whisk together flour and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; cut cream cheese and cold butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly.
.                 3. Combine yeast mixture and buttermilk, and add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 6 to 8 times (about 30 seconds to 1 minute), sprinkling with up to 1/4 cup additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.
.                 4. Roll dough to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, rerolling scraps once. Arrange biscuits on 2 parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
.                 5. Bake at 400° for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter.
