🧄🌿 Garlic & Herb Cottage Cheese Biscuits

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 8–10 biscuits)

• 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd works best)

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tsp garlic powder (or 2 cloves minced garlic)

• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)

• ½ tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning

• 4 tbsp cold butter, cubed

• 2–4 tbsp milk (only if needed)

Optional:

• ½ cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan

• Melted butter for brushing

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment.

2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl combine:

• Flour

• Baking powder

• Baking soda

• Salt

• Garlic

• Herbs

3️⃣ Cut in Butter

Add cold cubed butter.
Use fingers or pastry cutter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

4️⃣ Add Cottage Cheese

Stir in cottage cheese (and cheese if using).
Mix just until combined.

If dough feels too dry, add 1 tbsp milk at a time.

Do NOT overmix — that keeps them tender.

5️⃣ Shape

Lightly flour surface.
Pat dough to about 1-inch thickness.
Cut into rounds OR scoop rustic mounds onto baking sheet.

6️⃣ Bake

Bake 15–18 minutes until tops are golden.

Optional: Brush with melted garlic butter right out of the oven.
