New video CAT HEAD BISCUITS & GRAVY with GRITS for Supper

Melt shortening and bacon grease in a #10 Cast Iron skillet. Whisk the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder together. Pour in 2-1/2 cups buttermilk and stir together until the dough has a sticky sound. You may need to add more buttermilk. Dip a large serving spoon into the melted grease and scoop a spoon full amount of dough into the skillet. Baste the biscuit with some of the melted grease and continue to scoop into the skillet making sure to baste each one with the melted grease to keep them from sticking together as they bake.

1 cup WATER

a heaping 1/4 cup OLD FASHIONED GRITS
Pinch of SALT
2 teaspoons CREAM CHEESE (optional)
2 teaspoons BUTTER
Bring water and milk to a boil. Whisk in the grits to keep the from lumping. Cook on low for 10 to 15 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the cream cheese and butter and whisk until melted in an creamy. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

How lucky for John to grow up with his grandfather and to watch him make biscuits every morning.
Church is not a happening place unless the livestock get loose on the street and into the neighbors prize roses and flowers while the Pastor is preaching the longest sermon he ever preached. Memories of many a day chasing after runaway cattle down the road, in your best Sunday dress and shoes, after an unpredictable rain storm. Adds a spice of life.
Just love you guys! What a beautiful relationship, working together, loving together, a wonderful life. So great to see in these days we live. ♥️
I love how you talk to us like we are actually there with you! I feel like I am right there.
Amy and John, thank you for the video, those cat head biscuits looked so yummy. I just love the bond between the two of you, so much respect for one another. If young people could only know that Christ being the center of the home could make such a beautiful relationship like you and John share. My husband and I will be married 45 years on Friday, and that has been the secret to our marriage! Keep the videos coming, I love them!

Gods are Myths
Fun Fact: Back in the 40's World War II Era when clothing became rationed the ladies of the house would use any scrap of material to make clothes for their family (not 100% sure if they used it just for the kids but I think it was just for the kids at first). They would use the the flour sacks to make children's clothes and the mill owners noticed this so they started printing designs on the flour sacks so as they looked good and well better than the plain white sacks that the flour originally came in. Hope you all understood what I meant there lol. I think that is how the sacks Amy found had colourful prints on them and that is a great way she used them and to still be able to keep that connection to both of their families. Just so sweet and just as sweet it was both of you cooking together in the kitchen, it was reaaly nice to see. Love From Scotland xxxx

I first heard of these from Mr. Jerry Clower, God rest him. And now you sweet, generous people are giving me a recipe to share with my family. You are such a blessing! Thank you so much. I made your syrup cake in six-inch pans. It was beyond delicious. I never got to send you a picture, we ate it up so fast. But I feel another one coming on, and I will be sure to send you the pic. All you folks have to do is be yourselves, and people are blessed for miles around. The Lord lift up His face to you and give you peace.
You and John remind me of all the things I loved about my Maternal grandmother, she was a sweet southern lady and a fantastic cook and had stories for days.Those cat head biscuits look awesome💕

My mother-in-law taught me to make cat heads when I was 18 yrs old, & today I’m a young 77 yrs old! Lots of biscuits have I’ve eaten through the years.
I loved watching your husband cook the biscuits and gravy. It reminded me of when I was young. Thanks
When I worked at DOW, Bob David's wife would send CATHEAD Biscuit everyday. You would be luck when Bob would share them with you. They would come out the hotbox wrapped in tinfoil full of butter and jelly!!!!! I've never had a better Biscuit.... Ever. Can't wait to try this receipt.

Been making biscuits including cathead biscuits all my life and I have never heard of biscuits made like this. Very interesting might have to try it sometime. Momma made something similar but she added cornmeal to the flour and she fried it. We called it fried cornbread. Was great with syrup.

Good morning, my sweet friend. I’ve always heard of cat head biscuits but never knew what they were until your first video of John making them. We always make gravy with milk. I knew you could make it with water for dinner meals but never had seen it done with breakfast gravy. I love learning something new. Daddy and I loved grits...butter and salt...no sugar, but the rest of the family didn’t like them. I never rem seeing Mama make them. When I moved to Shreveport I worked at LSU Medical Center and the ladies in the cafeteria could make some Amazing grits! Grits and bacon..that was my breakfast, Oh, Amy, for the first time since Christmas before last, my family was altogether for my birthday. I think I told you my precious niece was sick for about a year. Finally diagnosed at Vanderbilt in Nashville with Parkinson’s Disease on her 31st birthday. I hadn’t seen her since she became ill, thank you Covid! My birthday was complete when I was able to hug my baby girl. It is heartbreaking, but I’m trusting in the Lord to either heal or send the medical treatment that will bring her in remission. She owns my heart. Say prayer for Lauren. Haven’t forgotten about Jacqueline! Amy, I would have been so proud to have been yours or Johns momma. I love you, Lady Bug. Have a blessed week. 💜🙏🏻

Honey, I don’t mean to make you cry! I will give you something to make you 😊. In 1984 in Shreveport, a malignant tumor was found in my stomach. I was 33 years old. The drs painted me a dark picture. But without writing it all out, I will just say, when they got in there, there was no residual tumor in my stomach wall that had been there 2 weeks prior. They did a square inch biopsy- benign! They removed my gall bladder. The doctors were totally shocked but my church wasn’t! When I had my 6 month check up, the dr told me there was so many scars inside my stomach it was hard to determine which was the one for real. They were really looking for roots to my tumor. That was 37 years ago. Thank you Lord Jesus! And that wasn’t my only miracle. There is no way I should be alive. BUT GOD! No more tears....💜🙏🏻

Beautiful John Murray. I’m to try these cathead biscuits ! YUMMY
You can order bacon grease from Amazon. I buy mine from there and it’s good good grease. It’s very clean. Y’all are eating my kinda supper food now. I just love to have breakfast food for supper. And those biscuits are just like I like my biscuits, crunchy on the outside tender in the middle. Thanks so much to John for sharing his granddaddy’s biscuit recipe. Relationships like he had with his granddaddy are so important and I know he will never ever forget those days in his life.

You two are such a dear couple and if I didn't know better I would have thought you were newlyweds the way you are so respectful and sweet to one another. When John said the dinner prayer, I teared up a bit. Dads, if you want to save your children much headache and heartache, please at least occasionally read the bible to and with them, and let them know praise and prayer. Live the life, it is not boring, the bible is filled with all kinds of exciting stories, full spectrum from romance to wars and all in between. I didn't have the beauty of such a dad as John, and I'm not belittling my dad, just saying how much heartache could've been avoided in our family.
