If you grew up in the South, chances are you’ve heard of cathead biscuits. The name is quite strange, but these large, fluffy, buttermilk biscuits are full of charm and rustic character.

Cathead biscuits got their name from their size and shape and are said to be as big, round, and uneven as a cat’s head. They hold traditional Southern roots and date back to a time when many households, including my husband’s, grew up eating biscuits daily, usually at every meal.
