Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
5 tsp baking powder
1/4 c butter or margarine
2 eggs
Cottage cheese ( 1 1/2 to 2 1/4 c ) -- see note

Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. 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.
