Why You Don’t Want to Skip Trying This Healthy Breakfast Idea to Add to Your Table

It is almost too easy to bake. Seriously, there is not much work to whipping up a batch. You just have to gather the ingredients, measure them out, mixing them only until moistened before rolling them into small balls to send to your oven.

The flavor comes alive without depending on fruits, nuts or chips for this easy scone recipe. The amount of vanilla works very well with the cottage cheese as it enriches the dough with tenderness. It also has what I would describe as the taste that reminds me of cheesecake.

You have to appreciate how extra substantial these cottage cheese scones are to a plain scone or muffin you may usually eat.

This recipe also makes two trays of scones, which is always great to have extras.

Lastly, these scones hold up quite well as far as freshness is concerned.

Tips for the Best Results

This dough is a bit stickier, especially if making the recipe on a humid day. However, there is a simple fix. Add a little flour to your hands as you shape the dough into small balls solves it. You can also stir in a tablespoon of flour before shaping them is another way.

I do like to store them in the refrigerator instead of leaving them out. You can also put some away in your freezer if the recipe makes too much for your family.

After measuring out the oil, I turn the cup upside down on my baking sheet and allow the remaining oil to drip out. This saves time and the need to grease the baking pan.

I hope you give my cottage cheese scones a try because they really are fantastic scones. Please also share this recipe with your family and friends and do come back to my blog for more.

How to Make Cottage Cheese Scones

2-3/4 cup of sifted flour
1/3 cup of canola oil
1/4 cup of milk
1-1/4 cup of cottage cheese
1 large egg
3/4 cup of sugar
3 teaspoons of baking powder, leveled
1 tablespoon of vanilla

1. Preheat the oven to 400-degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add the sifted flour, oil, milk, cottage cheese, egg, sugar, baking powder, and vanilla and mix until all the ingredients are just moistened to incorporate. I use a fork or the wooden spoon.
3. Grease two baking pans because this recipe makes a lot.
4. Take about a heaping tablespoon of dough at a time to roll in the palm of your hand to form a small ball. (If the dough feels a bit sticky, add a little flour to your hands to continue shaping).
5. Place the shaped scones on the cookie sheets and bake at 400-degrees to twelve to fifteen minutes.
6. Give about two minutes to cool in the pan before removing.
7. ENJOY!
