Easy Biscuits

*apparently a Red Lobster knock off recipe - still have to try it myself - dB

1 cup self-rising flour
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 package (8 oz) softened cream cheese

Mix together - add shredded cheddar cheese or dill to the dough to spice it up a bit.

Scoop onto a greased pan using an ice cream scoop. Bake them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 15-17 minutes and then ENJOY their buttery, crumbly goodness
