CATHEAD BISCUITS



Cathead Biscuits image

The recipe for these extra-large biscuits comes from Virginia Willis, the author of "Secrets of the Southern Table." A phrase her grandfather once used, the name indicates that it's a biscuit as big as a cat's head. Each one is golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside, with a light, airy interior.

Yield Makes about 9

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups White Lily or other Southern all-purpose flour, or cake flour (not self-rising), plus more for rolling
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes and chilled
2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. (You can also bake the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.)
  • In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Pour in buttermilk and mix until just barely combined. It will be a shaggy mass. (Alternatively, you can mix the dough in a food processor: Pulse to combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add butter and pulse until it resembles coarse meal. Pour in buttermilk through feed tube and pulse until just barely combined.)
  • Turn shaggy mass out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly, using the heel of your hand to compress and push dough away from you, then fold it back over itself. Give dough a small turn and repeat four or five times. (You want to just barely activate the gluten, not overwork it.)
  • Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out dough 1 inch thick. Using a 3 1/2-inch round cutter dipped in flour, cut out rounds (press cutter straight down without twisting so biscuits will rise evenly when baked).
  • Place biscuits on prepared sheet. (If biscuits are baked close together, sides will be tender. If biscuits are baked farther apart, sides will be crisp.)
  • Reroll scraps once. Do not simply roll them into a ball; this will create a knot of gluten strands. Instead, place the pieces one on top of the other in layers, then roll out dough and cut out more rounds.
  • Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool just slightly. Serve warm.

CATHEAD BISCUITS



Cathead Biscuits image

This is the old-time recipe from our grandmamas. There is no real measurement in this for the shortening. Wonderful and tasty heavy biscuit from the old times. Great with homemade sausage gravy. Always always always use White Lily® flour for the fluffiest biscuits. I usually don't always use all of the buttermilk. I seem to usually have just under a 1/4 cup leftover.

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups self-rising flour (such as WhiteLily®)
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons room-temperature vegetable shortening (such as Crisco®), or as needed
1 ¾ cups buttermilk, or as needed
¼ cup melted butter for brushing, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch cake pan.
  • Sift flour and salt together into a large mixing bowl. Make a dent in flour by pushing flour from center toward sides of bowl. Add 2 walnut-size lumps of shortening and a splash of buttermilk to the flour where you made the dent. Work the shortening into the flour using fingers in a twisting motion (rub thumb against pointer and middle finger motion) until the shortening is fully incorporated into the flour.
  • Pour buttermilk into the flour about 1/4 cup at a time, continuing to work it in with your fingers until the buttermilk is completely incorporated into a sticky dough.
  • Roll dough into 8 large balls and drop into prepared cake pan, working around the outside and putting the last one in middle to fill the pan. Press dough balls with back of fingers to flatten until they touch and are about 3/4- to 1-inch thick.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the tops are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush tops with melted butter.

FLUFFY CATHEAD BISCUITS WITH HONEY BUTTER



Fluffy Cathead Biscuits with Honey Butter image

Cat head (or cathead) biscuits are a Southern staple whose name refers to their large size (about as big as a cat's head). The dough for this hand-rolled biscuit recipe is made by incorporating flour into the wet ingredients, instead of the reverse. The result is a fluffy (rather than flaky) biscuit, ready to be split and spread with flavorful honey butter.

Categories     Biscuit     Bake     Breakfast     New Year's Day     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 12

For the biscuits:
1/2 cup buttermilk powder
3 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Pinch of sugar
6 tablespoons lard or bacon fat, cut into pieces and slightly softened
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces and slightly softened, plus more, melted, if desired
3 1/2-4 cups all-purpose flour, divided, plus more
For the honey butter:
1/2 cup flavorful honey (such as buckwheat)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened
1/2 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the biscuits:
  • Arrange rack in middle of oven; preheat to 400°F. Whisk buttermilk powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl until evenly distributed and no lumps remain. Add 2 cups water and whisk to combine. Add lard and butter.
  • Add 2 cups flour and mix with a fork until mixture resembles porridge. Using fork, press fats against side of bowl to cut into smaller, irregular, flattened pieces.
  • Fold in remaining 1 1/2-2 cups flour by the half cup with fork until a wet dough forms. Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface. Dust top of dough with more flour. Gently fold dough into itself until it feels like a pillow and is no longer sticky. Using a floured bench scraper or butter knife, divide dough into 12 equal pieces.
  • Working with 1 piece at a time, dip cut sides in flour and gently roll into a ball with your hands. Nestle each ball side by side in a large cast-iron skillet or on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake biscuits until lightly browned, 25-30 minutes. Brush with melted butter, if desired. Serve with honey butter.
  • For the honey butter:
  • Combine honey, butter, and salt in a medium bowl. Mash with fork until just combined but not emulsified.
