Cream cheese spelt biscuits

This is a recipe that keeps coming back to me on those weekends when I don't want to trade off the quality of life with busyness. This time I am using more cream cheese, with cream, but no butter.

Recipe: Cream cheese spelt biscuits (make 4)

Ingredients:
- 1 cup Bob's Red Mill spelt flour
- 1/4 cup KAF all purpose flour
- 1.5 tp sugar
- 1.5 tp baking powder
- 1/2 tp salt
- 6 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese
- 1/4 cup coffee cream

Procedure:
1. Sieve together spelt flour, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
2. Cut cream cheese into small pieces and rub into the dry ingredients until crumbs are formed.
3. Add coffee cream by tablespoons. Push the crumbs together to form a dough. Do not knead.
4. Form 4 pieces of dough. Wrap individually and freeze until use. Or bake right away.
5. Bake on parchment paper in toaster oven at 350F for 10-15 minutes.
6. Brush top with butter and serve.
