Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml/16 fl oz) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 ml/8 fl oz) cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
- 1 large egg
- 4 tsps (20 ml/0.67 fl oz) baking powder
- ¾ tsp (3.75 ml/0.12 fl oz) salt
- 1 tbsp (15 ml/0.5 fl oz) parsley flakes
- 2 tbsps (30 ml/1 fl oz) vegetable oil
- ¼ cup (60 ml/2 fl oz) milk
Instructions
- Preheating: Warm the oven to 425°F, establishing an optimal environment for baking herbed cottage cheese biscuits.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Merge flour, baking powder, salt, and parsley flakes in a large mixing bowl, whisking to create a uniform, fragrant base.
- Liquid Component Preparation: Thoroughly blend cottage cheese, vegetable oil, milk, and egg until achieving a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Dough Formation: Pour liquid ingredients into the dry mixture’s center, gently folding and stirring until a slightly textured dough emerges with minimal dry patches.
- Dough Refinement: Transfer the mixture to a floured surface, softly kneading to create a cohesive, manageable consistency. Gently press the dough to a 3/4-inch thickness.
- Biscuit Shaping: Precisely cut rounds using a biscuit cutter, gathering and re-rolling any remaining dough to maximize yield.
- Baking Preparation: Arrange biscuits closely on a prepared baking sheet, allowing edges to slightly touch for a tender, connected finish.
- Final Baking: Slide the baking sheet onto the center rack, baking for 10-12 minutes until biscuits rise and develop a golden-brown, appetizing exterior.
Notes
- Maximize Texture: Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough, dense biscuits; mix just until ingredients combine for light, tender results.
- Cutting Technique: Use a sharp-edged cutter and press straight down without twisting to ensure clean, even biscuit edges that rise properly.
- Freshness Boost: Serve warm immediately after baking to experience the most vibrant flavor and optimal texture of herbed cottage cheese biscuits.
- Storage Wisdom: Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer preservation without compromising taste.
