Introduction

Cottage Cheese and Herb Biscuits are a delightful twist on classic biscuits, combining creamy cottage cheese with fresh herbs for a tender, flavorful bite. They bake up golden and fluffy, perfect for breakfast or alongside your favorite meal.

The image shows a white plate filled with seven round, golden-brown biscuits stacked slightly overlapping each other. Each biscuit has a light, flaky texture with crispy edges and some small black and green herbs sprinkled on top, giving them a speckled look. The plate sits on a white marbled surface, and a striped gray and white cloth is partly visible on the upper left side of the image. The overall look is warm and inviting, with the biscuits appearing soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ cup cold butter (cut into small pieces)
¼ cup fresh herbs (e.g., chives, parsley, dill), chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4: Gently fold in the cottage cheese and chopped fresh herbs until just combined.
Step 5: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead until it comes together. Then pat the dough into about one-inch thick rounds.
Step 6: Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tips & Variations

Use a mix of your favorite fresh herbs for a unique flavor each time.
Chill the dough briefly before cutting out rounds to help the biscuits hold their shape better.
For a richer biscuit, try adding a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese to the dough.

Storage

Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze biscuits wrapped individually and thaw before reheating. Reheat in a warm oven for best texture.

FAQs

Can I use large curd cottage cheese?

Small curd cottage cheese works best to blend smoothly into the dough, but you can use large curd if drained well to avoid extra moisture.

Can these biscuits be made dairy-free?

You can substitute dairy-free butter and use a lactose-free or plant-based cottage cheese alternative, though texture may slightly vary.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

1 cup small curd cottage cheese
¼ cup cold butter, cut into small pieces

Add-ins

¼ cup fresh herbs (e.g., chives, parsley, dill), chopped

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure your biscuits don’t stick.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined for even rising.
Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, chopped butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, which helps create flaky layers.
Add Cottage Cheese and Herbs: Gently fold in the small curd cottage cheese along with the freshly chopped herbs, combining just until the dough comes together to keep the biscuits tender.
Knead and Shape Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it just until it holds together. Pat the dough into rounds about one inch thick for even baking.
Bake the Biscuits: Place the shaped biscuit rounds on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown on top.

Notes

Use cold butter to ensure flakiness in the biscuits.
Do not over-knead the dough to keep the texture light and tender.
Feel free to experiment with other fresh herbs like thyme or basil for different flavor profiles.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or alongside soups and salads.
