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
Herbs
- ¼ cup fresh herbs (e.g., chives, parsley, dill), chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring a flaky texture.
- Fold in Cottage Cheese and Herbs: Gently fold the small curd cottage cheese and chopped fresh herbs into the flour mixture, mixing just until combined to keep the biscuits tender and flavorful.
- Knead and Shape Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently knead just enough for it to come together, then pat the dough into rounds about one inch thick to form the biscuits.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the biscuit rounds onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, then enjoy warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use cold butter to ensure flaky biscuits.
- Fresh herbs can be adjusted to taste or variety.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits tender.
- Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
