Southerners are known for giving their recipes colorful names. This one got its name because each extra-large drop biscuit is as big as a cat's head. The treats are crisp and golden outside, soft and pillowy inside, and filled with scallions, cheddar cheese and just the right amount of black pepper. These cathead biscuits are quick to fix and simple to make-you don't even have to roll out the dough. -Cheryl Day, Back in the Day Bakery

  • Be sure to use cold butter for the best results. Cold butter will help to create flaky biscuits.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • When cutting out the biscuits, use a sharp knife or biscuit cutter. This will help to create clean edges and prevent the biscuits from sticking together.
