Cat head Biscuits

[zelix]

I love biscuits. These are made to be the size of a cat's head. I've worked for years to get a recipe. I'm finally happy that I can make a decent batch.




laid up with some gravy.

[sweet_magnolia]

Nice! I could do biscuits and gravy all day long.

[BIGGLOPEZ]

Nice, I could put a hurtin on some of those right now...

My wife and brother in law make great biscuits!! Yours look great!!

[tadowdaddy]

Phenomonal. I wish I had the patience to do them like that. I'm frequently making drop biscuits due to how quickly I can do it. They are like hard tac, but they are the perfect backdrop to a nice sausage gravy. Yum.

Dang it all. Those look awesome. I love me a cathead biscuit with gravy.

[Slanted88]

Mater gravy +6 of them!

[HawgHeaven]

They look great!!!

I wish mine would turn out like that... last biscuits I attempted, the state called me and asked if they could have them to fill in potholes on I-95...

Oh yeah !

Them look fine >^.^< meow

Whether with some sawmill gravy or apple butter
them would be a good eye opener on a cold frosty
Appalachian morning.

Herez ya one of my favorite treats to go with some
good biskins

Wash and core about 5 golden delicious apples and cut
lengthwise into wedges.

In a sauce pan stew these in some apple juice and
just a little butter & white sugar, (not much)

Now mix up some corn starch 1 Tb in 1/4 C water

Add about 3/4 C dark brown sugar into the apples
1/2 tsp nutmeg, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, 2 Tb butter,
and heat till bubbling.

Now add in a generous shot of Bourbon Whiskey and stir

Now stir in some of the well mixed corn starch and stir
little by little till the sauce is thickened up. You may not
need all the corn starch mixture.

You can use a can of Lucks Fried apples if you throttle back
on the amount of the ingredients. Just pour the juice in the
pot and heat it and start from there.

This oughta go right good with them cat's heads

Much more moist! Soft inna middle.

So are my scones! Lol
One of my faves used to be diced mussels bacon parsley and cheese mixed into the batter then eat them hot with loads of butter

When I see a bag of White Lilly flour in a store again, I'm going to get it
and make some of these. I'll pick up some butter milk. (and of course some fresh baking powder)

I'm not sure if they are comparable. Here's the recipe I use if you'd like to try it or if it sounds similar.


2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup milk

preheat oven 425F

in a bowl whisk together all dry ingredients.

cut in the shortening

add milk and mix completely.

grease up cast iron pan with some shortening.

I use a small amount of flour and basically form the bisuits by hand.

Don't work it too much as it will make them hard as a rock.

put them in the oven.

when they are about 3/4% cooked place a teaspoon of butter on top of each biscuit. I use good Irish butter so that's why I don't use as much salt in the batter.

It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. It took me a couple of weeks before I made a decent batch.
