Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
Herbs
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, dill), chopped
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the biscuits to a golden perfection.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, which will help the biscuits rise and develop texture.
- Cut in the butter: Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs, creating a flaky biscuit texture.
- Add cottage cheese, herbs, and milk: Stir in the cottage cheese, chopped fresh herbs, and milk gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
- Form the biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly to allow for rising.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn a beautiful golden brown on top.
- Serve warm: Remove from the oven and enjoy these biscuits warm for the best flavor and texture, perfect alongside soups or stews, or on their own.
Notes
- Use cold butter to achieve a flaky biscuit texture.
- Fresh herbs can be adjusted based on preference or seasonality.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute milk and cottage cheese with suitable plant-based options.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
- Biscuits are best served fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven.
