Preheat oven to 450F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut the cream cheese and butter into the flour mixture using a fork or a pastry blender until it resembles coarse sand with plenty of pea-size chunks of butter and cream cheese.
Add the buttermilk and stir just until combined. The dough will likely be pretty crumbly.
Turn the dough out onto a clean counter and knead until it forms a ball. Roll the dough out to 3/4 -inch in thickness and use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 8 biscuits.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake at 450F for 11-12 minutes until golden brown around the edges.
While the biscuits are baking, combine the honey butter glaze ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir often until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush generously with the honey butter glaze.
Split the biscuits open to serve warm and spoon extra honey butter glaze onto each half of the biscuit. Or, chill the honey butter glaze until solid, then beat with an electric mixer until smooth; spread onto the biscuits.
Notes
The dough may seem dry and crumbly at first but kneading it for a minute or two will bring it together into a nice biscuit dough. Do not over-knead.
Whole milk can be used instead of buttermilk, but this will impact the flavor and texture.
The glaze can either be served with the biscuits warm (cut biscuits in half and spoon on more glaze) or it can be chilled, whipped, and spread onto the biscuits.
