Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Dairy and Herbs

  • 1 cup small curd cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • ¼ cup fresh herbs (chives, parsley, dill), chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined to create the biscuit base.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the texture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces of butter.
  4. Add Cottage Cheese and Herbs: Gently fold in the small curd cottage cheese along with the chopped fresh herbs until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a tender biscuit texture.
  5. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it starts to come together. Then pat it into rounds about one inch thick.
  6. Shape and Bake: Place the biscuit rounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits turn a beautiful golden brown on top.

Notes

  • Use cold butter to achieve flaky biscuit layers.
  • Feel free to substitute or combine herbs according to your preference.
  • Do not overwork the dough to keep biscuits tender and light.
  • These biscuits are best served warm fresh from the oven.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese to the dry ingredients.
