CATHEAD BISCUITS



Cathead Biscuits image

This Old Fashioned Recipe for Cathead Biscuits is delicious.

Provided by The Southern Lady

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups self-rising flour
1 to 2 tablespoons shortening at room temperature ((Mama used lard and about the size of a walnut))
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon salt (Optional)

Steps:

  • 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 biscuits if you make them like I do.

MY MAMA'S CATHEAD BISCUITS WITH TOMATO-BACON GRAVY



My Mama's Cathead Biscuits with Tomato-Bacon Gravy image

Okay as promised. Here is my Mama's recipe for Cathead Biscuits and Tomato-Bacon Gravy. She would make these every morning for breakfast. Sometimes we would just eat the biscuits with a bowl of oatmeal. We didn't know we were poor as dirt when we were growing up. Mama always made it seem like we were rich with her delicious meals.
