Ingredients
2 tbsp. (approx.)
melted butter, divided, for greasing the pan and brushing the biscuits
1 ½ cups
flour
4 tsp.
sugar
2 ¼ tsp.
baking powder
½ tsp.
kosher salt
¼ cup
Kowalski's Salted Butter, cold, cut into approx. 16 cubes
½ cup
4% milkfat cottage cheese
1
egg
1 tbsp.
Kowalski's Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice (from the Produce Juice Case)
Directions
- Grease a 9" glass pie plate with melted butter; set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Working quickly, use your fingertips to rub cold butter into dry ingredients until mixture is well blended and resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.
- In a blender, combine cheese, egg and juice; blend until smooth (about 30 sec.).
- Pour blended cottage cheese mixture into flour mixture. Using a fork and a light touch, combine ingredients until evenly moist, pressing dough together to incorporate any dry bits (do not overwork the dough).
- On a generously floured work surface, use lightly floured hands to pat dough into a rough square about 1" thick; cut into 9 squares.
- Arrange biscuits in the prepared pie plate, evenly spaced apart; brush lightly with melted butter.
- Preheat oven to 425°. Meanwhile, invert a large bowl over the pie plate; let biscuits rest at room temperature for 30 min.
- Remove bowl; transfer pie plate to preheated oven. Bake until biscuits are golden-brown (about 15 min.).
- Serve warm; store any uneaten biscuits at room temperature, well wrapped, for 1-2 days.
Tasty Tip:
- Instead of using the rubbing method to incorporate the butter into the flour mixture, you can use the cutting method with two knives or a pastry cutter, whichever feels most comfortable. The key with rubbing is to work quickly and use only the tips of your fingers; otherwise, the heat from your hands may warm the butter. Small pieces of cold butter, evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture, help create a light, flaky texture, particularly in biscuits and scones.
