Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (375 mL) whole barley flour
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) dry mixed herbs (oregano, thyme, basil, rosemary)
  • 1 (250 g) container 2% cottage cheese
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) milk
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) canola oil

In a medium bowl, combine flours, baking powder, salt and herbs. In a food processor or blender, process cottage cheese, milk and oil and add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.

With a floured knife, cut circle into 10 wedges; separate each wedge slightly and bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 25 to 30 minutes until browned and a cake tester inserted comes out clean.

Makes 10 pieces.
