Equipment
- mixing bowls
- Whisk or fork
- spatula or wooden spoon
- measuring cups and spoons
- parchment paper
- baking sheet
- knife
- cooling rack
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups white whole wheat flour or all-purpose
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh chopped dill
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups cottage cheese full-fat or 2%
- 3 tbsp cold diced butter
- 1.5 cup gruyère shredded
- 6 oz smoked salmon chopped into bite-sized bits
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and dill.
- Add the grated butter and work it into the flour with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cottage cheese until relatively smooth. It doesn’t have to be perfectly blended, just well mixed.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Once the dough starts to come together, add the shredded cheese and chopped smoked salmon. Stir just until combined.
- Lightly flour your work surface and turn out the dough. Pat it into a rough rectangle about 8x12 inches and around 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut it into 12 rectangular biscuits.
- Transfer the biscuits to your parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. If you want a glossy, golden top, brush them with a little olive oil or melted butter.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed, golden, and lightly crisp at the edges. The tops should spring back gently when pressed.
- Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese - for the best flavor and texture.
Don’t overmix the dough - stop as soon as the flour is mostly incorporated.
Flour your surface lightly - too much flour during shaping can toughen the dough.
Brush the tops - a quick swipe of olive oil or melted butter before baking helps the tops brown beautifully.
