Cathead Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Work the shortening into the flour until it’s like coarse crumbs. (I use a spoon to do this). Add the buttermilk and stir until makes a ball in the bowl. You can either pinch off the dough or cut it with a biscuit cutter. I use a tin can because I like to make these biscuits good size like my mama’s biscuits.
  • Grease or spray pan. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes until brown on top.
  • This recipe only makes 8 if you make them big and 12 biscuits .for regular size.
  • Notes:
  • You can also make them using all-purpose flour but you will need to add 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt. You can brush melted butter on the tops once cooked or even before cooking if you like.
