Ingredients
For the Biscuits
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 6 tbsp Cold Unsalted Butter, Cubed
- 1 1/2 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Full Fat Cottage Cheese
- 1/2 cup Cold Whole Milk
For the Garlic Butter
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter, Melted
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, Finely Chopped
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and garlic powder in a large bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the pieces are about the size of peas, then toss in the shredded cheddar.
- Stir the cottage cheese and cold milk together in a separate bowl, keeping the curds whole. The curds melt into soft, creamy pockets as the biscuits bake, which keeps the inside rich and tender.
- Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the flour and fold with a spatula just until no dry flour remains. The dough should be thick, sticky and a little lumpy, so do not overmix.
- Scoop 1/4 cup mounds of dough onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart, making about 12 biscuits. Bake for 13-16 minutes, until golden with crisp, browned cheesy edges.
- While the biscuits bake, stir together the melted butter, garlic powder, parsley and salt. Brush the garlic butter over the biscuits right out of the oven and serve warm.
