Cheesy Cottage Cheese Biscuits

Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Cakes and Desserts
No Hungarian gathering is complete without 'Pogácsa'. This version is exceptionally tender because the acidity and fat of the cottage cheese tenderize the dough. No yeast required—just mix and bake for one of the fastest savory treats around.

Instructions

1 ✓

Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl, mix in salt. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly.

Tip: Keep the butter cold! It creates layers in the dough as it melts in the oven.
2 ✓

Add the cottage cheese, half the shredded cheese, egg, and sour cream. Knead quickly until just combined.

Tip: Don't overwork it! Like biscuits, too much handling makes them tough.
3 ✓

Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Tip: Chilling hydrates the flour and firms up the butter for better flakiness.
4 ✓

Roll out to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter.

Tip: Minimize waste to avoid re-rolling scraps too many times.
5 ✓

Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden.

Tip: Avoid overbrowning or the cheese will taste bitter.

Recipe FAQ

Why didn't they rise?
Your baking powder might be old, or you rolled them too thin. These aren't yeast rolls; they won't double in size but should puff nicely.
They're dry the next day.
Baking powder doughs dry out faster than yeast doughs. A quick 10-second zap in the microwave freshens them right up.
