We’re bursting out with spring all over here, and the Ozark region’s first strawberries are coming into season. When I was growing up, we had strawberries most often served over pound cake, which we called “strawberry shortcake.” (I know people in other regions of the country use sweetened biscuits for a dessert by the same name.)

Every now and then I get a hankering for an old Southern favorite. This week it was angel biscuits, also known as “honeymoon biscuits” because with yeast, baking, and baking soda, they are just about guaranteed to rise, even for novice bakers.
