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.
