Fluffy Cathead Biscuits with Honey Butter image

Cat head (or cathead) biscuits are a Southern staple whose name refers to their large size (about as big as a cat's head). The dough for this hand-rolled biscuit recipe is made by incorporating flour into the wet ingredients, instead of the reverse. The result is a fluffy (rather than flaky) biscuit, ready to be split and spread with flavorful honey butter.

FLUFFY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits image

Ever in search of biscuits that actually rise, I tried this recipe and they DID, indeed, rise! HINT: Do not twist the biscuit cutter, just punch through the dough. Twisting "seals" the edges and the biscuit doesn't rise as well. The secret to this recipe, according to the author, is the type of flour. The lower the protein content, the higher the biscuit will rise. "Southern" flours such as White Lily, are recommended. Since Southern flours aren't always available, she came up with this preparation.

Categories     Breads

Time 20m

Yield 12 biscuits, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 cups cake flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, cut into small chunks
3/4 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Prepare ingredients: Cut butter into small chunks, place in a bowl and return to fridge. Measure out buttermilk and set aside. Sprinkle flour on a work surface and have extra flour nearby for your hands and biscuit cutter. Have biscuit cutter and an ungreased baking sheet handy.
  • Mix dough: In a medium-large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt until very well blended. Add butter and cut into flour using a pastry blender, two knives or your fingertips, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in buttermilk and stir lightly until dough comes together in a ball.
  • Knead dough and cut biscuits: Dump dough mixture out onto floured work surface. With floured hands, lightly knead dough a few times until it is fairly well blended. Pat out into a circle, 3/4 - 1 inch thick. Dip cutter into flour and cut biscuits without twisting the cutter. Form the dough scraps into an extra biscuit-like shape instead of re-rolling the dough. Place cut biscuits together on the baking sheet so that the sides are touching. Brush tops with melted butter, if desired.
  • Bake biscuits: place baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 500 degree oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove biscuits to a wire rack to cool for a few minutes.

Southern Breakfast Biscuits - Easy but Light and Fluffy image

Having run through a range of biscuit recipes, this has become Kimberly's favorite way to have them. I'm not going to complain, they're lovely and fluffy, and if I have to make them, it's easy as pie. They're a little crispy on the edges, top and bottom, deliciously soft on the sides, and almost impossible to get wrong. All credit to the talented Kimberly for the recipe's creation. - Hugh

Time 17m

Yield 9 Biscuits, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups self raising flour
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup water (roughly)
3 1/16 cups canola oil (roughly)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 450 Degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Generously cover the bottom of an 8" square glass baking dish with Canola Oil, and set it in the oven.
  • Combine Buttermilk and Flour in a mixing bowl.
  • Add water until the consistency is slightly sloppier than dough. This wonderful little recipe works with a variety of consistencies - from slightly soggier than normal dough all the way to just-about-pourable.
  • Add the 3 1/6th cups of Oil, and mix as little as necessary to combine all ingredients. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits, so be careful not to fall for that trap!
  • Take your glass dish from the oven, and pour/scoop/scrape your dough into it. Smooth it over the top if necessary, to ensure even sized biscuits. (no worries if you don't do this well, they still taste great).
  • Oil a blunt knife and dip it in flour, and use it to cut your dough into 9 even squares.
  • Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, checking at 8, until they're golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and serve.

Provided by Dalinda Akerman

Categories     Fish

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large onion diced small
4 celery stalks diced very small
4 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp flour
2 can(s) 10 1/4 oz can of cream of chicken soup
1 can(s) 10 1/4 ox can of cream of celery soup
- can(s) milk fill the 3 empty soup cans with milk
2 Tbsp parsley chopped fine (optional)
1 frozen bag of sweet baby peas
4 can(s) white tuna 5 1/4 oz cans
bisquick follow the directions to make biscuits
4 c sharp cheddar cheese shredded
3 c monterey cheese shredded
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp cracked pepper
"make homemade mash potatoes use a 5 pound bag"

Steps:

  • 1. In a large stock pot put the butter and oil in pot, add the chopped onions, celery and sauté on medium heat. Saute until onions are translucent and soft, cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, making sure you do not brown or burn them. After the onions and celery are cooked add the 2 tablespoons of flour to make a roux whisking constantly cooking for 1 to 2 minutes without burning the flour on a medium to low heat, this will thicken your sauce. Add the Cream of Chicken, and Cream of Celery soup. Fill the cans of soup up with milk and pour into stock pot. Whisk until all blended and bubbly, cooking on medium heat. Add the parsley, peas, 1 cup of the Sharp Shredded Cheese, tuna, salt and Pepper stirring and whisking until well blended. After this mixture has reach a bubbly state turn down to a very low heat.
  • 2. Now lets make biscuits. The Bisquick Mix tells you right on the side of the box how to make the biscuits. Follow the directions when your dough is all formed and ready to go dump out of bowl on to a lightly floured surface. Take out your rolling pin and roll out dough until paper thin. It does not have to be perfect and it can be in a big circle, it will be fine. Once you get the dough thin add 1 1/2 cups of Sharp Shredded Cheese and 1 1/2 cups of the Monterey Jack Shredded Cheese sprinkling all over the dough until it is covered. Start where the dough edge that is closest to you is start rolling it away from you until you have rolled the dough into a log. Now pinch the sides closed and pinch the edges to keep it closed. Slice dough 2 1/2 inches wide. You will make this dough log twice to be able to cover the top of your casserole dish.
  • 3. Lightly spray your casserole dish with oil. Bring up the heat on your tuna mixture until it is bubbly hot then pour mixture into the casserole dish. It's important that the creamy tuna mixture is really bubbly hot so it will cook the bottom of the rolls. Take your cheesy swirl rolls and place on top of the creamy tuna mixture, placing them on top until all the surface is covered in glorious cheesy swirl biscuits. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 375. You must serve this with homemade mash potatoes! Pour the cooked cream tuna mixture over the potatoes and top with your fluffy cheesy biscuits. Enjoy!

2 tablespoons unsalted butter -- melted

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 500°F. Spray 9" round cake pan with cooking spray; set aside. Generously spray inside and outside of 1/4 cup dry measure with cooking spray. For the dough: In food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda to combine, about 6-1 second pulses. Scatter butter cubes evenly over dry ingredients; pulse until mixture resembles pebbly, coarse cornmeal, 8-10 1 second pulses. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Add buttermilk to dry ingredients and stir with rubber spatula until just incorporated (dough will be very wet and slightly lumpy.) To form and bake biscuits: Using 1/4 cup dry measure and working quickly, scoop level amount of dough; drop dough from measuring cup into flour on baking sheet (if dough sticks to cup, use small spoon to pull it free). Repeat with remaining dough, forming 12 evenly sized mounds. Dust tops of each piece of dough with flour from baking sheet. With floured hands, gently pick up piece of dough and coat with flour; gently shape dough into round ball, shake off excess flour, and place in prepared cake pan. Repeat with remaining dough, arranging rounds around perimeter of cake pan and 3 in center. Brush rounds with hot melted butter, taking care not to flatten them. Bake 5 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 450°F.; continue to bake until biscuits are deep golden brown, about 15 minutes longer. Cool in pan 2 minutes, then invert biscuits from pan onto clean kitchen towel; turn biscuits right-side up and break apart. Cool 5 minutes longer and break apart.

Tips:

  • Use cold ingredients: Cold butter and milk will help create flakier biscuits.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • Let the dough rest before baking: This will allow the gluten to relax and make the biscuits more tender.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking: This will give them a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

With a little practice, you'll be able to make fluffy, delicious biscuits that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these biscuits are sure to be a hit. So next time you're in the mood for something warm and comforting, give this recipe a try.
