Ham Cheddar + Chive Protein Biscuits
Directions
- 1Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2Blend cottage cheese and milk until creamy.
- 3In a large bowl, mix the blended cottage cheese and milk 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 (bread flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, black pepper).
- 5Add the dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix until just combined; the dough will be crumbly and looks slightly dry, but that's okay!
- 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 (ish) about 3/4 inch thick; don’t worry about it being too perfect!
- 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, which creates the layers in the biscuits!
- 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 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.
- 15Allow to cool for 10 minutes before enjoying.
- 16Optional: brush tops with butter + honey!
