Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 ml) cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
- 1 large egg
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 4 teaspoons (20 ml) baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon (3.75 ml) salt
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) parsley flakes
Liquid and Oil:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating it to 425°F, creating an ideal baking environment for the herbed cottage cheese biscuits.
- Combine dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blending flour, baking powder, salt, and fragrant parsley flakes until evenly distributed.
- In a separate container, whisk cottage cheese, vegetable oil, milk, and egg until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Create a central depression in the dry ingredient mixture and gently pour the liquid mixture into the crater.
- Stir the ingredients together, allowing the dough to form a slightly rough, uneven texture with minimal dry pockets remaining.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly dusted work surface and knead gently, transforming the shaggy mixture into a cohesive, smoother mass.
- Delicately press the dough to approximately 3/4 inch thickness, ensuring an even surface for cutting.
- Utilize a round cutter to precisely shape the biscuits, pressing straight down and collecting any remaining dough for subsequent cutting.
- Arrange the biscuits on a prepared baking sheet, positioning them closely together to encourage soft, connected edges.
- Position the baking sheet in the oven’s center rack and bake for 10-12 minutes, monitoring until the biscuits rise and develop a golden-brown exterior.
Notes
- These biscuits offer a protein-packed twist on traditional recipes with creamy cottage cheese as a secret ingredient.
