Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- 2 tablespoons milk (if needed)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, beaten egg, chives, and parsley. Mix well.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and the dough begins to come together. If the dough seems too dry, add milk one tablespoon at a time until a cohesive dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round. Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter to cut out rounds, reworking the scraps as needed.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
If desired, brush the tops of the warm biscuits with melted butter for added flavor and shine.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite spread!
