Cat Head Biscuits

To be sure these have neither cats nor heads in them, they are simply named cat head biscuits because of the relative size and shape of the finished biscuits. I don't know about you but I have a go to biscuit recipe, I love it, they are easy and delicious and I can make them with my eyes closed. But then I found the cat head biscuits and I may have found a new go to recipe. I saw the recipe on another blog and she claimed they were the easiest and best biscuits she ever made, they intrigued me and I had to try them. I think it was when she described the recipe as making 7 or so cat head size biscuits that I knew I was making them.

Cat Head Biscuits--oven 375˚
adapted from a Kiss and a Peck

ingredients
4 cups flour+3/4 cup for dipping
1 teaspoon salt
2 TBSP baking powder
1/2 cup butter
2 1/2 cups milk

preheat the oven
butter a baking sheet covered in parchment paper
mix 4 cups of flour, salt and baking powder in a mix bowl
pour the rest of the flour into a small mixing bowl and set it aside
cut the butter into pieces and add to the flour mix
rub the butter and flour between your hands until they are well mixed
add the milk and stir to combine
dip an ice cream scoop in the extra bowl of flour
then take it, scoop a ball of biscuit dough and drop it in the extra flour
turn it over to cover it in flour
pick it up shake off the extra flour and place the biscuit on the buttered parchment paper and give it a bit of a pat to flatten it
repeat with the remaining dough
this made 14 cat head size biscuits
bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown

These really are easy to make, no rolling, patting, cutting and such, just scoop, turn and drop. And talk about best biscuits, these are it! I swear I love them. I don't know, perhaps I was just too familiar with my recipe but these were tender and tasty and better than the ones I was turning out. If you are using Bisquick just give these a whirl and ditch that processed mix for good, you won't be sorry. Neither will your kids.

Peace and Love--
