MEME'S TEA BISCUITS MADE EASY



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...

MEME MELINDA'S ANGEL BISCUITS/CINNAMON ROLLS

Recipe passed down. Had to experiment to get it right. Hope you enjoy as our family does. Serving size depends on amount of dough you choose to use. Recipe is enough for a 9" dish of rolls and 9" pan of biscuits. Not sure about prep & bake time. Never timed it. Sorry. I grew up with my mom, aunt, and grandma making these. We each have our own style and adjust recipe accordingly. Enjoy!
