Granny had other things besides refridgeration to keep things cold.  Plus, 
Granny had better ingredients.  Well, unless Granny isn't all that old <g> 
She'd have had *real* lard, *real* milk/buttermilk and so forth and so on. 
I've also noticed that most of us "younger" generation seem to overwork 
biscuits.  Well, except for James, of course <g>  Overworked biscuits are a 
deadly sin!
