Description
Soft, fluffy breakfast biscuits made with cottage cheese—high in protein, lightly savory, and perfect for a quick morning bite.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 2–3 tbsp milk (as needed)
- 1/4 cup butter (cold, cubed)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir together until evenly blended.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the cottage cheese and egg, mixing gently to incorporate without overworking the dough.
- Form Dough: Gradually add 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk as needed, stirring until a soft dough forms that holds together but is not sticky.
- Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll or pat it into a thickness of about 2 cm (3/4 inch).
- Cut Biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut the dough into rounds and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender and flaky.
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like chives or rosemary, or sprinkle shredded cheese into the batter.
- These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
