COTTAGE CHEESE BISCUITS 
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
5 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
Cottage cheese (1 1/2 to 2 1/4 cups) *

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

Make a well in center 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 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 1/4 cups or even slightly more to make a dough that will hold together.
