Recipe - Cottage Cheese Biscuits

3 cup Allpurpose flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Sugar
5 teaspoon Baking powder
One fourth cup Butter or margarine
2 Eggs
Cottage cheese ( 1 One half to 2
One fourth cup ), see note

Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in butter or
margarine until like coarse crumbs.

Make a well in centre of the dry ingredients and place in it the eggs and 1
One half cups of cottage cheese. Work the whole together, just enough to
bind, using more cottage cheese if necessary. Turn onto a lightly floured
board and knead very gently a few times. Pat to a 1 inch thickness.

Cut into biscuit shapes and place on a greased baking sheet, or divide
dough in half and pat each half into a greased 8 inch round cake pan. Bake
at 450 F for 12 to 16 minutes or until browned. Makes 18 to 20 biscuits 2
inches in diameter.

Note: You can use any kind of creamed cottage cheese but the amount will
depend on the moisture content of the cheese. It will vary from about 1 1/2
cups to 2 One fourth cups or even slightly more to make a dough that will hold
together.
