Make the crust In a large bowl, whisk or sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in milk and egg until dough comes together. Knead a few times by hand and set aside.

Make the filling Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Stir in cream cheese and milk until smooth. Add other ingredients and stir to combine.

Assemble the cups Using about 2 T. of biscuit dough at a time, press into the bottom and about three quarters of the way up the sides, of lightly greased muffin tins. Pre-bake at 400 degrees for 3 minutes.
