Funny name, delicious biscuit! Loretta gave them this unusual name because when her husband "Doo" made them, he dropped such huge amounts for each biscuit onto the baking sheet. She said they were as big as cat's heads!:)
The thing I love about these is that they only require 3 ingredients. That's almost as easy as popping open a can! They are also soft as velvet and delicious. My husband actually called them the best biscuit ever. And that's a lot coming from such a picky eater. Sorry babe! :)

Those look so good. I will have to make them very soon. I never have self-rising flour. But, you can make your own: Add 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder and 1/2 tsp of salt to 1 cup of flour. Voila!
My kids love biscuits. I'll make these.
Ive heard them called 'cathead biscuits' all my life. I don't think these came from Loretta herself. That is just a 'sayin' country folks use, just as they do many, many others.
Is there any way to make these with less shortening?
You can also make them with just SR flour and half and half. We couldnt tell the difference. I dont usually buy the half and half, someone gave me a 1/2 gallon.
Absolutely! Where I come from we call them baking powder biscuits, and I substitute the entire amount of butter with no-fat plain Greek yogurt. Flour, baking powder, salt (and / or other seasonings), stir well, add yogurt and hot water, stir just enough to combine all ingredients and drop onto a silicone-lined baking sheet.
