Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, thyme, basil, and garlic powder.
  3. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in cottage cheese and milk just until a soft dough forms—do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in chopped parsley, if using.
  6. Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat to about 1-inch thickness.
  7. Cut into rounds or squares using a biscuit cutter or knife.
  8. Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown on top.
  9. Optional: brush tops with melted butter right after baking for added flavor and shine.
  10. Serve warm for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs like dill or rosemary for a different flavor profile.
  • Add grated Parmesan or cheddar for a cheesy variation.
  • Low-fat cottage cheese works but results in slightly less rich biscuits.
  • Dough can be shaped ahead and refrigerated for up to 12 hours before baking.
  • To reheat, use a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes or microwave briefly.
