Appalachian Cathead Biscuits

Who doesn't love delicious, homemade, fluffy biscuits? If you've never made Appalachian cathead biscuits, you're in for a treat! These unique biscuits get their name because they turn out "as large as a cat's head." These are an Appalachian classic recipe, much like the homemade pepperoni roll. I can't wait to make that recipe to share with ya'll too! 

When I make these biscuits, they're gone in minutes. My husband and boys absolutely devour them. They're super easy to make and only require a few ingredients. If you make these, please comment below and let me know what you think!
This biscuit dough is super easy to make. Start by preheating your over to 450 degrees. Next, butter a cast iron skillet and set aside to place your biscuits into. Measure out your flour then add your room temperature butter and cut it in using a fork. Toss in your sugar, give a quick mix then add your buttermilk or whole milk. 

Mix just enough to not see any dry ingredients. Do not overmix. The dough will be a sticky consistency. You can lay your dough out onto a floured surface or just use your hands to form your biscuits making sure you use a little flour each time you make a new biscuit. Place into a cast iron skillet. 

Bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Butter the tops of the biscuits when they're fresh out of the oven.
Serve with butter and honey, strawberry jam or serve plain.
