Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for extra fiber)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Cut the softened butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized pieces form.
- Stir in the cottage cheese and honey (or maple syrup).
- Add the milk and fold just until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick round, and cut into rounds.

- Bake for 12–15 minutes until puffed and golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and cool before serving.

For richer flavor, use buttermilk or Greek yogurt. For added protein, consider mixing in whey or collagen powder.
