Cottage Cheese Biscuits

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 20 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads, Biscuits And Scones Breads, Tea Loaf

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.

Byron’s Famous Killer Cheese Dip

Recipe By : Byron Howes University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill
Serving Size : 18 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Appetizers

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
320 g cheese soup (one can of condensed canned c
120 g chopped green chilies (I use Old El Paso c
1 medium yellow onion — chopped
15 ml crushed red pepper
30 ml chili powder
15 ml cumin
1 garlic clove — crushed.
1 ml hot sauce (Tabasco sauce or hot pepper sau
250 ml sour cream

1. Mix together all ingredients except the sour cream; heat to
boiling at low h eat.

2. When blended, correct seasoning (usually needs more cumin and garlic.)

3. Add sour cream and heat until it bubbles slightly. Serve with
Tostitos or an y natural Mexican-style corn chip.

Author’s Notes:
Here it is, folks! By popular demand, the cheese dip known to
make women fa int, strong men cry, and small children run for their
mommies. This started out as an attempt to replicate a Chili con Queso
dip, but took off in its own direct ion.

This recipe may be doubled, quadruped or even sextupled without
problem. Go easy on the red pepper if your guests don’t like hot food.
The effect, if done correctly, should be an initial impression of
cheese, cumin, sour cream and garl ic followed a second later by a
sinus-cleaning heat. As one partaker has put it “You have to keep
eating because if you don’t, you’ll die.” Guaranteed to inc rease
beer consumption at parties. Good Luck!

Difficulty : very easy.
Precision : Measure the spices, just so you’ll know how much you have put
in
.
