What Are Cathead Biscuits?

Cathead biscuits get their name from being as big as a cat's head! They're not just any fluffy piece of bread, but a great big piece of southern history.

The best cathead biscuits are made from an old fashioned recipe handed down through generations. They're huge, buttery biscuits with crunchy, golden tops that melt in your mouth!
