Peach Rhubarb Biscuits
Some friendships are built over coffee dates. Ours is built over text messages, recipe links, and an imaginary café that exists only in our heads. My online friend Shea and I have never actually met in person, but for years we’ve joked that one day we’re going to open a restaurant together called the No BS Café. It would be the kind of place where the food is simple, delicious, made with real ingredients, and nobody is chasing the lowest calories or points just because. Every so often one of us sends the other a recipe and says, “This needs to go on the menu.”
That’s exactly what happened when Shea sent me a recipe for cottage cheese scones. I couldn’t wait to make them, but after one bite, I immediately thought, “These aren’t scones. They’re biscuits!” I made a couple of small changes by adding a bit more sugar and swapping the chocolate chips for fresh peach and rhubarb, and the result was a tender, buttery biscuit that I’ll absolutely be making again. If you’d like to see the original cottage cheese scone recipe that inspired this one, you can find it here.
Ingredients
- cottage cheese (we used 2%)
- eggs
- butter
- honey
- sugar
- flour
- baking powder
- salt
- peaches
- rhubarb
What is the difference between a biscuit and a scone?
While biscuits and scones share many of the same basic ingredients, they have very different textures. Biscuits are typically light, flaky, and buttery with distinct layers, making them perfect for serving alongside savory meals or topped with butter and jam. Scones, on the other hand, tend to be a bit denser and more crumbly, often with a slightly sweeter dough that’s studded with fruit, chocolate, or nuts and meant to be enjoyed with coffee or tea. After tasting these, I honestly thought they leaned much more toward biscuit territory. They were tender and fluffy with a soft interior, and the peaches and rhubarb gave them just enough sweetness without making them feel like a traditional scone.
Our dough was on the wet side, so when I make these again, I think I am going to use an ice cream scoop to make drop biscuits.

In December 2020, I took a leap of faith and left my 30-year career as a legal secretary to pursue My Bizzy Kitchen full-time, a decision that changed my life.
Two years later, in October 2022, I was able to hire my daughter, Hannah, full-time, which brings me so much joy. Now, My Bizzy Kitchen is more than just recipes. It’s about embracing life, finding balance, and making healthy living sustainable and fun.
