Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather all your ingredients for easy access.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
  3. Cream the softened unsalted butter and honey (or maple syrup) until light and fluffy.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, incorporating the cottage cheese and milk until just mixed.
  5. Let the dough rest for a few minutes to activate the baking powder.
  6. On a floured surface, pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut out round shapes.
  7. Transfer the biscuits onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with milk or melted butter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden-brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
