Turos Pogacsa/Cottage Cheese Biscuits

1 lb butter (cut in chunks for easier blending)

1 lb cottage cheese

4 cups flour (start with 3 1/3 cups and add as necessary to keep the dough workable)

2 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

1-2 egg yolks for wash needed only just before baking



Mix butter, cottage cheese, flour, salt, baking powder in a bowl, or place in bowl of your heavy duty mixer with dough hook and knead until smooth and dough forms sort of a ball. Mix until well blended if doing by hand and knead until smooth. Form dough into a ball. Cut in half to make it easier to work with. Move onto a floured surface. Roll out to 1/2 inch thick, dusting slightly with flour if necessary to prevent sticking.

Fold the bottom third to the center, top third down to the center, left third to center, and right third to center. This gives you more layers. Put in fridge for 15-20 minutes. Repeat folding/chilling two more times.
