  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      c             All-purpose flour
   1      ts            Salt
   1      tb            Sugar
   5      ts            Baking powder
     1/4  c             Butter
   2                    Eggs
   1 1/2  c             Cottage cheese -- up to 2-1/4 c,
                        - see note

Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in
butter 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 cottage cheese if necessary. Turn onto a
lightly floured board and knead very gently a few times. Pat to a 1"
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" round cake
pan. Bake at 450°F for 12 to 16 minutes or until browned.

Yield: 20 Biscuits

Note:

You can use any kind of creamed cottage cheese but the amount will
depend on the moisture content of the cheese. It will vary from about
1-1/2 to 2-1/4 cups or even slightly more to make a dough that will
hold together.
