Ingredients




3/4 cup Unbleached white flour plus extra
for rolling dough
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon Baking soda
1/8 teaspoon Salt optional
3 tablespoons Butter
1/4 cup Low-fat small-curd cottage cheese
 cup Thinly sliced green onions (green and white parts)
(or substitute chopped fresh herbs)
2 tablespoons Low-fat buttermilk

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 2 Into large bowl, sift together 3/4 cup flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and salt. Sift mixture again. Add butter; mix just until crumbly. Add cottage cheese, onions and buttermilk. Combine briefly, just to mix ingredients. Knead only 5 times. (Dough should be soft and satiny.) 3 Lightly flour board and roll out dough into 8- by 5-inch rectangle. Cut into rounds with 2-inch biscuit cutter, rerolling and cutting scraps. Place on oiled baking sheet. Bake 7 to 10 minutes, until just golden. Let cool before cutting. 4 Yields 10 to 12 scones.
