Serve these with fresh peaches and cream for an indulgent breakfast.

Cream Cheese Biscuits

Beat cream cheese, margarine together until fully mixed, fluffy (about 3 minutes with electric mixer). Blend in flour, beating just to incorporate. Shape into 2-inch wide rolls in waxed paper.

Place on ungreased cookie sheet about ½ inch apart, bake in heated 400-degree oven about 10 minutes, or until browned as desired.
