Ham Cheddar + Chive Protein Biscuits
Directions
- 1Preheat oven to 425 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2Blend cottage cheese and milk until creamy.
- 3In a large bowl, mix with honey and melted butter, then fold in ham, cheese, and green onion.
- 4In a separate large bowl, mix together all of your dry ingredients.
- 5Add dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix until just combined- dough will be crumbly and looks slightly dry.
- 6Turn your dough out onto a clean floured work surface.
- 7Use floured hands to combine the dough to make it less crumbly and into more of a smooth dough.
- 8Roll dough out as much as you can into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick.
- 9Fold one end of the rectangle into the center, and then the other end of the rectangle over it, like a letter.
- 10Flatten dough again into a more narrow rectangle that is again about 3/4 inch thick.
- 11Repeat the process of folding one end into the center and then the other end over it.
- 12Roll a little once again just to pack layers together more tightly.
- 13Cut dough into 6-9 biscuits and place on baking sheet almost touching each other.
- 14Brush the tops with milk.
- 15Bake for 20-30 minutes, until tops are slightly brown and centers are set.
- 16Allow to cool for 10 minutes before enjoying.
- 17Optional: brush tops with butter + honey.
