- 1 tsp freshly crushed black pepper large grind (or 1/2 teas regular black pepper)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425
- Toss the flour, baking soda baking powder, salt, bacon, black pepper, and thyme together in a large bowl.
- Dice the cold butter into small cubes, and with your fingers rub into the flour mixture, creating pea sized portions of butter.
- Add the cold buttermilk and cottage cheese and with a wooden spoon, mix until just combined.
- Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes to allow everything to cool and come together.

Notes
Allowing the biscuit batter to cool in the fridge before cooking is a very important tip I picked up from fellow girl grill master
