How to Make Herbed Cottage Cheese Biscuits
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
Step 3: Cut in the Butter
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4: Add Cottage Cheese & Herbs
Stir in the cottage cheese, milk, and chopped herbs. Mix gently until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk.
Step 5: Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a ¾-inch thick circle. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds, or simply shape them by hand.
Step 6: Bake
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Step 7: Serve & Enjoy
Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or as a side for your favorite dish.
What to Serve With These Biscuits

Tips for Perfect Biscuits

- Freeze: Freeze for up to 2 months and reheat in the oven before serving.
- Reheat: Warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5 minutes or microwave for 20 seconds.
