Description
Soft, fluffy cottage cheese biscuits that come together quickly with simple ingredients. The cottage cheese adds moisture, subtle richness, and extra protein, making these biscuits tender, flavorful, and perfect for breakfast, soups, or sandwiches.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Add cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix cottage cheese, milk, and egg until well combined.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat to about 3/4-inch thickness.
- Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or glass and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
- Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits tender.
- Keep butter cold for the best flaky texture.
- Add 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or fresh herbs for a savory variation.
- Increase sugar to 2 tablespoons and add vanilla extract for a sweeter version.
- Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
- Freeze baked biscuits up to 2 months and reheat in oven.
