Fluffy Southern Cat Head Biscuits Recipe - The biggest, softest, most amazing biscuit recipe with buttery golden tops! Flaky on the outside, pillowy inside!

What are cat head biscuits? These are believed to be an old Appalachia favorite. The origins of the name are lost to time, but it's believed that they're called that because they're about the size of a cat's head. Cat head biscuits are a lot less fuss to make than rolled and cut biscuits, come together pretty fast and bake golden brown and are very tender.

Outrageously fluffy and tender biscuits that are super easy to make.

Don't worry, there aren't any actual cat's heads involved. The origins of the name are lost to time, but the conventional wisdom seems to be that they're called that because they're about the size of a cat's head. An old Appalachian favorite.

Funny name, delicious biscuit! Loretta gave them this unusual name because when her husband "Doo" made them, he dropped such huge amounts for each biscuit onto the baking sheet. She said they were as big as cat's heads!:) The thing I love about these is that they only require 3 ingredients. That's almost as easy as popping open a can! They are also soft as velvet and delicious. My husband actually called them the best biscuit ever. And that's a lot coming from such a picky eater. Sorry babe…
