• Preheat the oven to 425 F (220 C) for conventional oven. Lower the temperature by 20 F (15 C) for convection oven.
• Put the cottage cheese in a food processor or a blender and process until smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add egg, honey, oil, salt, and baking powder whisk until combined.
  
• Add the flour and use a spatula to gently fold the flour into the wet mixture.
  
• Then use your hands to give it a gentle knead, like 3-4 times, just enough to bring it together. You will get a ragged dough that is sticky. If the dough seems dry, drizzle 1 tablespoon of milk and mix again.
  
• Flour your work surface and turn the dough out.
  
• Flour your hands and the top of the dough a little bit and just very gently knead it a few times to bring it together and then press it to flatten into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle or round (doesn't matter). Don't overwork the dough too much.
  
• Dip a 2-inch or 2 1/2-inch sharp round cutter into a flour and press it straight down into the dough and DO NOT twist the cutter. Lift the cutter straight up. When you twist, the sharp edge of the cutter presses the dough down and kind of “seals” the sides. This prevents the biscuits from rising evenly and as tall as they could during baking. Cut out as many as you can and as close as you can
  
• Pat the dough scraps together again and use the cutter to cut again.
• Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet lined with parchment paper, about 3-inch apart. Brush with egg yolk wash and sprinkle with toasted white sesame seeds. I get about 10 pieces with a 2 1/2-inch cutter and 6 and one tiny scrap dough with a 3-inch cutter
  

Baking:

• Place the baking pan on the middle rack and bake for 15 minutes if you use 2 1/2 inch cutter, and about 18 minutes if you use 3-inch cutter or until golden brown. If it gets too dark, you can tent with an aluminum foil (shiny side up) halfway through baking

Serve:

• Serve them warm or at room temperature. They are great for breakfast with your favorite spread or make a breakfast sandwich with them
