Cream Cheese Biscuits with Strawberry Butter are light and airy, and they’re the perfect biscuits to make any weekend breakfast just a little more special.
I made these particular biscuits for a girlfriend’s breakfast I was invited to a few weeks ago. The theme was a garden party birthday celebration, so I wanted to bring something pink and girly. These Cream Cheese Biscuits with Strawberry Butter were just the right touch to add to the beautifully decorated buffet table.
I’d hemmed and hawed for weeks over what I would bring to the girlfriend’s garden breakfast that I’d been invited to attend. Should I bring muffins? Should I make English muffin bread? What about a big golden loaf of Brioche? I was stumped.
That is until I spotted a copy of “Cook’s Country” magazine that I had sitting on the sideboard cabinet in my kitchen, that just so happened to feature Fluffy Cream Cheese Biscuits on the cover. Bingo! I knew in a flash that that’s what I would bring. My mind then went immediately to serving them with a delicious strawberry butter, and the thing that would make them pretty in pink and party perfect!
