Fluffy, buttery, and packed with fresh herbs, these Herbed Cottage Cheese Biscuits are the perfect savory addition to any meal. The cottage cheese keeps them moist and tender, while fresh herbs bring a burst of flavor. Quick and easy to make, they're ideal for breakfast, brunch, or as a side for soups and stews.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley, chives, dill, or a mix), finely chopped
- ⅓ cup milk (plus extra for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
- Cut in Butter: Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in cottage cheese, fresh herbs, and milk. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
- Form Dough: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times. Pat or roll to ¾-inch thickness.
- Cut Biscuits: Use a round cutter or glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll scraps as needed.
- Bake: Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart. Brush tops with milk. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and enjoy warm with butter or honey.
Notes
- For Extra Flakiness: Keep butter very cold and avoid overworking the dough.
- Customizations: Add shredded cheese, red pepper flakes, or lemon zest for extra flavor.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Store baked biscuits in an airtight bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
