Add cottage cheese, onions and buttermilk. Combine briefly, just to mix ingredients. Knead only 5 times. (Dough should be soft and satiny.) Lightly flour board and roll out dough into 8- by 5-inch rectangle. Cut into rounds with 2-inch biscuit cutter, rerolling and cutting scraps. Place on oiled baking sheet. Bake 7 to 10 minutes, until just golden. Let cool before cutting. Yields 10 to 12 scones.
