Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour (2 cups) – The base for tender biscuits.
- Baking Powder (1 tbsp) – Helps the biscuits rise.
- Salt (½ tsp) – Enhances the flavor.
- Black Pepper (¼ tsp) – Adds a slight kick.
- Butter (6 tbsp, cold & cubed) – For flakiness.
- Cottage Cheese (1 cup, small curd) – Adds moisture and richness.
- Milk (¼ cup) – Helps bring the dough together.
- Fresh Herbs (2 tbsp, chopped) – Try parsley, chives, or dill for extra flavor.
- Garlic Powder (½ tsp, optional) – A subtle savory boost.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
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.
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.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or alongside your favorite meal.
Notes
- 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.
