Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup milk (if needed)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy clean-up.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Cottage Cheese: Stir in the cottage cheese until a dough begins to form. If the dough feels too dry or crumbly, gradually add up to 1/4 cup milk to bring it together.
- Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3 to 4 times to combine everything without overworking.
- Shape Biscuits: Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds from the dough.
- Bake: Place the biscuit rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm with your favorite breakfast sides.
Notes
- Serve these biscuits with eggs or fresh fruit for a balanced and hearty breakfast.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For added flavor, try adding herbs like chives or parsley to the dough.
- You can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste and more fiber.
