Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups self-rising flour Ensure it is fresh for best rising action
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Low-fat or full-fat preferred
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt Provides moisture and tang
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Sharp flavor profiles work best
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley Finely minced for color variation
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder Adds a wonderful savory baseline note

Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl For blending the flour and wet bases smoothly
  • 1 Baking Sheet Heavy-duty metal sheet pan
  • 1 Ice cream scoop Spring-loaded style for easy portion dropping

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the self-rising flour and garlic powder inside your large mixing bowl to distribute seasoning.
  2. Add the cottage cheese and plain Greek yogurt into the bowl, stirring gently until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and minced fresh parsley using a rubber spatula until just distributed.
  4. Line your large metal baking pan cleanly with a piece of non-stick parchment baking paper layers.
  5. Scoop quarter-cup balls of dough onto the baking sheet using your spring-loaded ice cream scoop implement.
  6. Flatten the tops of each dough ball slightly with damp fingers to create an even cooking surface.
  7. Bake at 200°C for fifteen minutes until the exterior surfaces are deeply golden-brown and bubbly.
  8. Allow the hot cheesy biscuits to cool on the metal sheet pan for five minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Avoid over-mixing the dough to preserve a light and fluffy interior crumb texture. A light mist of olive oil spray right before baking guarantees ultra-crispy cheese edges.
