Cathead biscuits are a Southern staple whose name refers to their large size (about as big as a cat's head). The dough for this hand-rolled biscuit recipe is made by incorporating flour into the wet ingredients, instead of the reverse. The result is a fluffy (rather than flaky) biscuit, ready to be split and spread with flavorful honey butter.

• 1/2 cup buttermilk powder
• 3 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• Pinch of sugar
• 6 tablespoons lard or bacon fat, cut into pieces and slightly softened
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces and slightly softened, plus more, melted, if desired
• 3 1/2–4 cups all-purpose flour, divided, plus more
• 1/2 cup flavorful honey (such as buckwheat)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
