Back to the biscuits... Depending on where you reside in the USA, you may be wondering exactly what Cream Horns /Lady Locks are.
I suppose my grandmother was the person who began making them (I do not know for certain because she passed when I was very young.) For so long as I can recall, my Great Aunt Maggie've created them.
Filling and the crust create them irresistible!
