Cottage cheese biscuits

20 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 cups All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Sugar
5 teaspoons Baking powder
¼ cup Butter or margarine
2 Eggs
Cottage cheese ( 1 1/2 to 2 1/4 c ), see note

Directions

Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in butter or margarine until like coarse crumbs.

Make a well in centre of the dry ingredients and place in it the eggs and 1½ cups of cottage cheese. Work the whole together, just enough to bind, using more cottage cheese if necessary. Turn onto a lightly floured board and knead very gently a few times. Pat to a 1 inch thickness.

Cut into biscuit shapes and place on a greased baking sheet, or divide dough in half and pat each half into a greased 8 inch round cake pan. Bake at 450 F for 12 to 16 minutes or until browned. Makes 18 to 20 biscuits 2 inches in diameter.

Note: You can use any kind of creamed cottage cheese but the amount will depend on the moisture content of the cheese. It will vary from about 1 ½ cups to 2 ¼ cups or even slightly more to make a dough that will hold together.
