Cottage Cheese Biscuits

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 1½ cups to 2¼ cups or even slightly more to make a dough that will hold together.
