Cut in butter or marg arine until like coarse crumbs. Make a well in centre of the dry ingredients and place in it the eggs and 1 1/2 cups of cottage cheese. Work the whole together, just enough to bind, using more cotta ge 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 th e moisture content of the cheese. It will vary from about 1 1/2 cups to 2 1/4 cu ps or even slightly more to make a dough that will hold together. Formatted for MasterCook by Mardi Desjardins. |
