my grandma's house was just the same, a single light bulb in most rooms, pot belly stove and wood cookstove.

Cathead Biscuits Made Easy by Pemberley Farm Homestead (a higher temp. helps them rise higher, also placed touching close together). Preheat Oven: 425'F-450'F Bake 400 degrees/Bake:20 minutes Preheat Oven: 450'F/Bake: 10 - 15 min. 12" cast iron skillet, greased, 2 - if making a larger batch. Usually I make a double batch and make larger biscuits in two skillets. Grannie used All-Purpose Flour, Salt, Baking powder, maybe Baking soda, Lard and Buttermilk. This is a smaller batch and makes 5 large. 4-6 c.Self Rising Flour 1c.Shortening/Lard 2 c. Heavy Whipping Cream/Buttermilk/sub. Sweet Milk w-vinegar, mix if needed. Knead the fat to warm & soften it. Rub a fist/handful of fat - the lard or crisco into the flour until pea size or crumbles, Add liquid as needed, just until formable into a ball/patty. Gently handle the dough, just until it forms a patty. Do not knead it, the less handling the better. You Will not use all of the flour, allow it to sit for several hours to dry the crumbs until hardened to, just sieve/sift and cover to store for next time. making them about the size of a cat's head. So I used her recipe and I pinched them off the way she did instead of rolling them out and she called them cat head biscuits. Place close together in the pan pre-greased 8-12" skillet or tortilla griddle. Time/Time estimated from other recipes of cathead biscuits. Hope this helps.

My Dad is 92 and I remember as a child he would always say pass the cat heads. We all knew it was the biscuits. But I had never heard anyone else call them that. We are from NC/USA.

North Carolina, my favorite place on the planet even though I don't live there, however I did at one time. My great-grandparents were what my grandmother called dirt farmers in Northwest Florida and that's what biscuits have been called my whole life, and I'm almost 70, because my grannie, her mama called them that. Glad you found us. Thanks for watching.

Curious what the story is behind why they are called cat head biscuits? I’ve never heard that term before referring to biscuits. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁

I have no idea why they are called that unless they are usually made to be a pretty good size about the size of a cat's head. I do not know that that's the case. I just know that in the area of the South that I live that is what they have always been called. If you research that and find out, let us know. Thanks for watching

learn this recipe I didn't have all the ingredients and neither did the person that showed me but it was condensed milk instead of buttermilk and self-rising flour. I'm sure it's not the correct way but they were still good just like that.

Now the large size qualifies them to be cat heads.

To me it's not about the size of the biscuit it's about how my granny made them. I guess originally it could be said they were making them about the size of a cat's head. So I use her recipe and I pinched them off the way she did instead of rolling them out and she called them cat head biscuits. Your mileage may vary. Thanks for watching

Obligatory? Well, someone's educated with a serious lexicon. I came up with a different cathead biscuit on my own from necessity. What I do is just mix (fresh) self-rising flour with water and drop that dough into a super-hot cast iron Dutch oven with an inch of oil in it. That little, simple biscuit will puff up like nobody's business (if the Dutch oven is hot enough), and the quick crust on it will make you want to slap your great, great grand-mammy down.

Obligatory is not part of the normative parlance so to speak.
