I have searched/tried a number of biscuit recipes with no luck duplicating the biscuits from childhood. Nan's Tea Buns are by far the best, and b/c dough is formed into balls and placed in a 9x13 dish, the buns come out of the oven looking like old fashioned tea biscuits! Dense, moist & delicious. - 5/14/13
