Homemade Ricotta Cheese Biscuits Recipe

One of my favourite types of recipes to cook is an easy one that requires a handful of ingredients. Don’t you agree? Well, this extra easy ricotta biscuits are no different. You just combine everything in a bowl, shape and bake. Voila!

What I like about these ricotta biscuits is that they are pretty versatile. I usually make them as a quick breakfast (the day before) or brunch (tea time as I call it). Sometime, when we drive longer hours, homemade snacks are a must. This recipe never disappoints! Kids can hold them easily on their own in the back seat. The only thing I cannot guarantee is the the lack mess in the car. Thank goodness for car wash, eh. In addition, you can add them to appetizer trays and bake sales.

Ricotta Biscuits – Ingredients

  1. Ricotta cheese, fresh – the base for this biscuit recipe is the fresh ricotta that blends everything together.
  2. Flour – while, all purpose flour is ideal for this recipe. Or 00 Type flour as well.
  3. Vegetable oil – I usually add sunflower seed oil or coconut oil (it might change the flavour of biscuit though)
  4. Sweet paprika – a must for a tasty biscuit.
  5. Rosemary – dried and finely minced rosemary is best.
  6. Sesame seeds – I like to use a mix of golden and black sesame seeds as it gives a better visual effect. However, you can use whatever you have on hand.
  7. Salt – as always to taste – I add a pinch usually.

How to make Ricotta Biscuits at home – Tips

  1. Mix all dry ingredients well before adding ricotta and oil. That way herbs blend much better.
  2. Use a different type of seasoning, depending on your preferences. Italian seasoning works great too.
  3. Wet your fork before pressing onto each biscuits in a cup of water. That way dough won’t stick to the fork.
  4. Place each biscuit on a non-stick baking tray or use parchment paper, otherwise they will stick.
  5. Enjoy with a cup of homemade tea for brunch or breakfast. See my homemade anti-inflammatory linden cinnamon tea recipe.
