When my family visited my Grandparents in Brooklyn, years ago, we would wind up Lundy's for great seafood, clam bisque, these biscuits and Blueberry pie. The restaurant closed a few years ago and has reopened. I haven't been back so I can't comment on the food but I want to take my kids there since I have such fond memories of the "experience" of eating at that legendary restaurant! This recipe comes from the Lundy's Cookbook. I guessed on the prep time since I haven't made these myself yet. http://www.lundysrestaurant.com/
