Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
• 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 large egg

Directions

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Begin by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lightly spraying it with non-stick spray or lining it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and parsley flakes. Stir these together until evenly mixed.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, vegetable oil, milk, and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Form the Dough:
   • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together in a shaggy form. It’s okay if it’s a bit uneven or has a few dry spots.
5. Knead and Cut Biscuits:
   • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it a few times until smooth and cohesive. Roll or press the dough out to about 3/4 inch thick.
   • Use a 2 3/4 inch round cutter to cut out the biscuits. Press straight down to ensure even layers. Gather any remaining dough, re-roll, and cut to make more biscuits.
6. Bake:
   • Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. They should be almost touching to help them rise properly.
   • Bake in the center of the oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are risen and golden brown on top.
