Cathead Biscuits

"A staple in Appalachian cuisine and now popular throughout the South, cathead biscuits are an easier, larger, more rustic version of the traditional buttermilk biscuit. There’s no need to roll or cut the dough — just pinch off portions, drop them in a skillet, and pop them in the oven! Buttermilk biscuits find their way onto our breakfast or dinner table at least once or twice a week. From my great Aunt Bee’s 3-ingredient biscuits to cheddar biscuits with chives and bacon, or easy drop biscuits, there’s a recipe for every mood, meal, and occasion. These fluffy, oversized cathead biscuits are a personal favorite, since they taste delicious and come together so easily!"
