If she moves to get to it before it hits the ground, stand up, tell her to sit, and make her wait again.

It may take her some time to get the hang of things, but the goal is to get her to see that you control the food. Simultaneously, you should still be trying to get her acclimated to having a hand in her food dish. Just take it slow.
Great advice. I was going to say the same thing Good luck
