That’s what they’re known as due to their dimension. My husband has been making our biscuits for over 50 years. Once I confirmed him this extremely straightforward method to enhance the feel and simplify the duty he was impressed and instantly modified his methodology. We use much less butter than authentic recipe as the big quantities in most recipes makes them too greasy and wealthy. YMMV. Be happy to play with the measurements however strive it this fashion first.
425° 12 min – 8 huge biscuits
Substances:
60g melted butter
180g ice chilly buttermilk ( can fluctuate by 30-60g relying in your buttermilk and flour have the additional prepared if wanted)
280g flour ( we use Arrowhead Mills Bread Flour)
15g sugar
2g baking soda
9g baking powder
4g Kosher salt
The key is the melted butter stirred shortly into the icy chilly buttermilk. Distribution is ideal and no extra chopping in butter and overworking the dough.
Sift all of the dry components. Dump icy chilly combination and fold gently drip in reserved chilly buttermilk if wanted.
Combine with a folding movement ensuring all the things is moist , no dry pockets of flour however not moist moist.
Use an ice cream scoop to make 8 huge biscuits. No shaping these are the perfect craggy mild mild biscuits ever. Place on parchment lined baking sheet.
Watch as ovens fluctuate. We use convection. Flip pan for even coloration.
Lovely rendition, Caroline! You did not embrace a fist or a cat within the photos – a cat head biscuit ought to be the scale of a fist, as I’ve learn.
I’ve used the melted-butter-in-cold-liquid trick too, and it is really easy! Though I do not keep in mind seeing it in that quintessential ebook on biscuits: “Biscuits” by Belinda Ellis.

I simply made a batch, and they’re the perfect biscuits (UK: we’re speaking about scone-like issues right here) I’ve made. It was my first day out for cat head biscuits. I adopted your recipe pretty intently; it is fairly near different frequent ones. Modifications: White Lily self-rising flour (US self-rising flours embrace the salt, so do not add any extra); unsalted butter for the reason that flour already has sufficient salt; half lard, half butter, since I’ve lastly discovered an area supply for prime quality lard.
I used a bit of an excessive amount of buttermilk so the biscuits oozed a bit of sideways as they baked. The ratio of barely crispy outdoors to fluffy inside was good.
They’re scrumptious and large. I simply lucked onto the linked website a pair years in the past and it’s been the one solution to do biscuits since then.
I’ve a Pullman loaf within the oven with the Kamut as 1/3 of the flour. It’s a beautiful coloration! Will publish on it later. c
