Directions

Note: Wash hands with soap and water.
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4. Cut in 3 tablespoons cream cheese and butter with a pastry blender or two forks until pea-size lumps form; gently stir in buttermilk.
5. Gather dough into a ball and turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead for 10 seconds.
6. Divide dough in half and roll each piece out to a 1/2-inch thickness.
7. Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out rounds; place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the dough scraps.
8. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon milk and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned; transfer to a rack to cool.
9. In a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together 1 1/2 cups cream cheese, confectioners sugar and vanilla.
10. With the mixer running, slowly add the remaining milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until filling combines and desired consistency is achieved.
11. Cut biscuits in half and top with some strawberry jam and cream cheese mixture.
