Spoon Biscuits

This is not a cooking show. Spoon biscuits refers to how we ate the bread, not the name of the recipe. I was longing for regular old Southern biscuits from my dad’s recipe, but I knew something had to change. David’s ideal is quite different from mine. He likes biscuits bigger and softer than I do. I always overcook them to his taste, so I tried using the air fryer for a half recipe. It felt like cooking for dolls – tiny bowl, small utensils, little rolling pin, and a small cutting board instead of a pastry sheet. The best part? No leftovers! The biscuits had a delicate crust and melted in my mouth. That’s because they were one step removed from being raw. Next time I will increase the cooking time and take David’s biscuits out while I cook mine another two minutes. That should work out well, because he likes cool food, while I like it piping hot. Well, you know I’m not referring to Jell-o or ice cream. A happy adjustment should be easy when you are cooking for only two people.

David’s biscuits stayed warm until he came in from walking the dog. His were not as raw as mine.
