Fluffy Cathead Biscuits With Honey Butter Recipes

HONEY BUTTER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 and lightly grease a large baking sheet.
• In a bowl of an electric mixer, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low to combine ingredients.
• Chop cold butter into pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Mix on low, until batter resembles coarse crumbs.
• Pour in honey and mix for a few seconds.
• Pour cold buttermilk into the center of the mixture. Mix until just combined, dough will be sticky.
• Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle with a little more flour on top. Knead dough 5-6 times and pat into a ½ inch-think circle.
• Using a cookie cutter (about 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter), cut out the biscuits. Rework dough scraps into a ball (kneading it as little as possible) and shape it into a circle again. Cut out more biscuits.
• Place biscuits on the baking sheet leaving about an inch in between.
• In a small bowl, mix melted butter and honey. Using a pastry brush, brush each biscuits with honey butter mixture.
• Bake for 10-13 minutes (depending on the size of biscuits), until raised and golden brown.
• As soon as you take the biscuits out of the oven, brush them with more honey butter mixture.

(BIG AS A) CATHEAD BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prepare a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
• Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a mixing bowl.
• Mash small chunks of lard into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or with your fingers, letting each addition integrate fully before adding the next, until all the lard has been added and the mixture resembles coarse-ground cornmeal.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour milk into the well. Stir the mixture with a spoon, making sure to scrape the edges of the bowl so that the dry flour there gets wet, just until the milk is incorporated into the dry mix and there are no large areas of powdery flour remaining, leaving lumpy dough which is sticky in some places and even a bit grainy in the driest areas. From here, use your hands to carefully mix to ensure even consistency.
• Divide dough into 8 equal chunks and shape each into a thick biscuit. Put the shaped biscuits into the prepared cake pan with the sides touching.
• Bake in preheated oven until the tops are light golden brown, about 15 minutes.

FLUFFY CATHEAD BISCUITS WITH HONEY BUTTER

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.
