Description

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
  • 1 egg (for brushing)
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or store for later!

Notes
