Meme's Tea Biscuits Made Easy image

My grandmother made these delicious Tea Biscuits at least twice a week. Although Wal Mart sells a frozen tea biscuit which is very similar in taste, Meme's Tea Biscuits are better. On a 1 to 10 scale, Mary B's Tea Biscuits rank an 8 and Meme's rank a 10. I admit Mary B's are very handy to use, but some people still prefer...
