Ingredients
- 226 g cottage cheese
- 61 g milk, plus more for brushing tops
- 21 g honey
- 28 g butter
- 196 g deli ham, diced in to small pieces
- 113 g sharp cheddar cheese
- 80 ml green onion
- 254 g bread flour
- 14 g baking powder
- 2 g baking soda
- 6 g sea salt
- 1 g black pepper
Method
- 1
Preheat oven to 220°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Blend cottage cheese and milk until creamy. In a large bowl, mix with honey and melted butter, then fold in ham, cheese, and green onion.
- 3
In a separate large bowl, mix together all of your dry ingredients. Add to your wet ingredients and mix until just combined- dough will be crumbly and looks slightly dry. That's OK!
- 4
Turn your dough out onto a clean floured work surface. Use floured hands to combine the dough to make it less crumbly and into more of a smooth dough.
- 5
Roll dough out as much as you can into a rectangle (ish) about 3/4 inch thick. Don't worry about it being too perfect! Fold one end of the rectangle into the center, and then the other end of the rectangle over it, like a letter.
- 6
Flatten dough again into a more narrow rectangle that is again about 3/4 inch thick. Repeat the process of folding one end into the center and then the other end over it. This is what creates the layers in the biscuits!
- 7
Roll a little once again just to pack layers together more tightly. Cut dough into 6-9 biscuits and place on baking sheet almost touching each other.
- 8
Brush the tops with milk and then bake for 20-30 minutes (depending on size of your biscuits- smaller ones will cook faster), until tops are slightly brown in centers are set. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before enjoying.
