The Ultimate Cat Head Biscuits

P8190741.jpg

The biscuit in the front is plain, the biscuit in the back has been sprinkled with Parmesan cheese before baking.

3 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 1/2 cups mashed potatoes
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup of milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted

In a bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add the butter. Use your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the mashed potatoes and mix until incorporated. Add the egg and milk and mix until a dough forms. Turn out onto heavily floured surface ad knead about 20 to 25 times. Roll out to about 1-inch thick. Cut with a large drinking glass or large cutter being sure to press the cutter all the way down before turning. Place the biscuit rounds on an ungreased baking sheet. Use two fingers to lightly press down the center of each biscuit. This will help them to rise evenly. Brush with melted butter. Bake at 475 degrees for 17 to 20 minutes or until a light golden brown.

Thanks Barb! They're almost like a cross between a soft bread and a biscuit. It's a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.
 
Re: The Ultimate Cat Head Biscuits

These look absolutely, mouth-wateringly, GREAT, Mama!

I've never made biscuits before (we aren't a biscuit family), but those will be my first!

Re: The Ultimate Cat Head Biscuits

Thanks Lee! Even if you don't like biscuits, you may very well like these. They are moister and less crumbly than a regular biscuit

Thanks Sass....glad to see you posting again!
