Here’s a detailed recipe for Cottage Cheese Cheddar Biscuits—soft, cheesy, and perfect as a side or snack.
Cottage Cheese Cheddar Biscuits
Ingredients:
-
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp garlic powder or onion powder (optional, for flavor)
-
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
-
1 cup (240g) cottage cheese
-
1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese
-
2 large eggs
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients
-
In a large bowl, whisk together: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and optional garlic/onion powder.
3. Cut in the butter
-
Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture.
-
Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add wet ingredients
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together: cottage cheese, eggs, and shredded cheddar.
-
Add this to the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
5. Shape the biscuits
-
Use a spoon or your hands to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Flatten slightly if you want a more even shape.
6. Bake
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
7. Serve
-
Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
-
Great with butter, jam, or as a side to soup or salad.
Tips for Success:
-
Cold butter is key for flaky biscuits.
-
Cottage cheese: Drain slightly if very wet to prevent soggy biscuits.
-
Extra cheesy: Sprinkle a little extra cheddar on top before baking.
-
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
