Notes

One can use a larger "drop" portion and increase the cooking time for cat head biscuits.
One can add grated cheese, cheddar is my favorite.
 
NOTE:  SOFT FLOUR IS A NECESSITY. Pastry or, 'WhiteLily".
 
This is a simple recipe, but much depends on the technique, and the timing.  GENTLER IS BETTER
