Inspiration: Whilst cleaning out my mother-in-law’s old house, my husband and I ran across a very, very well loved Crisco cookbook. So loved in fact, the cover and title page are entirely missing, several pages are no longer attached to the binding, and the most used pages are foxed, sun darkened, and splattered with decades worth of flour, Crisco, and other mysterious substances.

Recalling his mom’s biscuits from when he was a kid, he and I set out to recreate the taste sensation from his childhood.

They turned out pretty well.

Christie: I can see these biscuits being popular in Tommy & Tuppence’s household as a vehicle for getting gobs of jam into one’s face!
