What makes these biscuits '5-Minute'?

These biscuits are called '5-minute' because the active preparation time, from gathering ingredients to getting them into the oven, takes only about five minutes. They use simple ingredients and a no-roll, drop-style method, making them incredibly quick to assemble.

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese for this recipe?

Yes, you can absolutely use low-fat or even non-fat cottage cheese. The cottage cheese primarily provides moisture and a tender texture, and the fat content won't significantly alter the final result in this specific biscuit recipe.

How should I store leftover cottage cheese biscuits?

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave for best results.

Can I add cheese or herbs to these biscuits?

Absolutely! These biscuits are wonderfully versatile. Feel free to fold in 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese, or a tablespoon of fresh chives, dill, or parsley with the dry ingredients for an extra flavor boost.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour. Make a well in the center.
Step 3: Add the cottage cheese and milk to the well. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. The dough will be shaggy and sticky – avoid overmixing.
Step 4: Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop 6-8 equal portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit. If desired, brush the tops with melted butter or a little extra milk for a golden finish.
Step 5: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed up and golden brown on top. The exact time may vary depending on your oven.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

For a savory twist, add 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese or a tablespoon of chopped chives to the dough. Do not overmix the dough for the best tender texture.
