Today Abby woke up with bacterial conjunctivitis...that's doc talk for Pink Eye. Poor thing - she was not happy. We actually went to the clinic (her Pediatrician was closed for the day) and the doctor prescribed some antibiotic eye drops. She is not a fan of the drops and - oh goody - I get to give them to her. Four times a day for the next seven days. Calgon, take me away!
Well, instead of Calgon we did Cat Head. Cat Head Biscuits, that is.
Grandpapa turned us on to the Cat Head concept many moons ago when he would refer to Grandmama's cat (Miss Ellie) as "Cat Head Biscuit" Come to find out, CHB's are biscuits that are about the size of a nice little cat head (clever, huh?). Who wants to bother with actually rolling out dough and making circles...how BORING!! Cat Heads rule. And you gotta have them with a nice pat a butt-uh - and of course, Jelly (just like Grandpapa).
It was cold, cold, cold and rainy today - a perfect afternoon for makin' messy in the kitchen.
Before we could start, we had to get all our ingredients together.
2 1/4 cup self-rising flour
1 1/3 cup buttermilk (you can use regular)
1/4 cup oil
And, about 1 or 2 Tablespoons butt-uh to melt and rub around the skeelit. Pre-heat oven to 3 Fiddy (that's 350 for those of you not in my language world).
Mix your stuff.
Knead your business.
Divide into 8 little cat heads and put them in the buttered up skillet. Note: CHB's taste SIGNIFICANTLY better if cooked in your NaNa's hand-me-down-seasoned-to-perfection skillet. Ah yeah.
Stick those bad boys in the oven (350 degrees) and bake for 25 minutes. After they are done, brush the tops with a little butter and hit it up in the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
And you got yourself some nice little cat heads...
And now comes the good part:
Hope you get you some Cat Heads soon.
love and a pat a butt-uh,

Delicious...one time I grabbed a pan in the oven like that with my bare hands..I therefore think it is imperative that you amend your post to include the verbiage, "use a potholder".
There's another way to do bisquits? I thought all homemade bisquites were cat heads, but that could be because I am from LA.
