About Cathead biscuits

Cathead Biscuits are a traditional Southern comfort food known for their oversized, fluffy appearance and rich, buttery flavor. Named for their generous size—said to be as large as a cat's head—these biscuits are made with simple pantry staples like flour, baking powder, butter or lard, and milk or buttermilk. Originating in the Appalachian region, they represent the resourceful, hearty cuisine of rural America. While their ingredients provide a source of carbohydrates, they are typically high in fat due to the butter or lard used in preparation. They lack significant fiber or protein, making them less nutrient-dense compared to whole-grain baked goods. However, when eaten in moderation or paired with lean proteins and vegetables, Cathead Biscuits can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. Their warm, pillowy texture and nostalgic appeal make them a beloved treat despite their indulgent nature.
