How to Make Herbed Cottage Cheese Biscuits

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using).

Step 3: Cut in Butter

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4: Add Cottage Cheese & Herbs

Stir in the cottage cheese, milk, and chopped herbs. Mix gently until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk.

Step 5: Shape the Biscuits

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a ¾-inch thick circle. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds, or simply shape them by hand.

Step 6: Bake

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 7: Serve & Enjoy

Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or alongside your favorite meal.

What to Serve With These Biscuits

• A warm bowl of soup or stew
• Scrambled eggs for breakfast
• Fresh fruit and honey for a sweet contrast
• A side of roasted vegetables

Tips for Perfect Biscuits

• Use Cold Butter: This helps create a flaky texture.
• Don’t Overmix: Mix just until the dough comes together for tender biscuits.
• Chill Before Baking: If the dough feels warm, refrigerate for 10 minutes before baking for extra fluffiness.

Storing & Reheating

• Store: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for 5 days.
• Freeze: Freeze for up to 2 months and reheat in the oven before serving.
• Reheat: Warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5 minutes or microwave for 20 seconds.
