Cathead Biscuits

Came across this recipe from my Muffins and Biscuits book. They say the recipe name comes from an old legend that says these biscuits are supposed to be big as a cats head. Well I took one of my biscuits and held it to my cats head. Legend is dead on. Tried to take a photo but my cat refused and threatened to call PETA on me so you'll just have to take my word on it. Maybe next time.

Ingredient

1 1/2 cups

AP flour

1 1/2 cup

cake flour

1 tbs

baking powder

1/2 tsp

baking soda

2 tsp

salt

3/4 cup

unsalted butter stick cut into cubes

1 1/4 cup

buttermilk

1/2 cup

melted butter

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a round cake pan. If doubling the recipe, use a 9x11. For this recipe I used a 9x11.

* Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk the AP flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.

* Step 3

Scatter the butter cubes throughout the flour mixture.

* Step 4

Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter in the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal with some chunks of butter.

* Step 5

Make a well and add the buttermilk in the well. Using a fork, gently toss the flour mixture into the buttermilk, scraping the sides of the mixing bowl.
