• Cut in the butter until the dough is roughly the size of peas. Make a well in the center.
• In a sml bowl, whisk the heavy cream w/the crème fraîche & egg. Pour into the well & stir w/a fork until evenly moistened.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured work surface & gently knead 2-3 times until it holds together.
• Roll out the dough 1-in thick. Using a 2 1/4-in rd cookie cutter, stamp out the biscuits as close together as possible. Gently press the scraps together & stamp out more biscuits. Transfer to baking sheets & chill until firm (about 30 min).
• Bake the biscuits for 18 min (or until golden on top). Serve warm from the oven or at room temperature.

• Combine cream and buttermilk in a glass jar. Cover tightly with cheesecloth (or any breathable material) and let sit at room temperature (70 to 75 degrees F (21 to 24 degrees C)) for 24 hours. Stir, screw on lid, and refrigerate for 24 hours before using.

Steps:

• For Filling:
• Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Stir brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in large nonstick skillet; stir in 1/2 cup water. Stir over medium heat until sugar and cornstarch dissolve. Add cherries; bring to boil, scraping sides of skillet and stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice and lime peel. Transfer filling to 11x7x2-inch glass baking dish. Place dish on rimmed baking sheet.
• For Biscuits:
• Whisk flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl. Whisk crème fraîche, vanilla, and lime peel in small bowl. Add crème fraîche mixture to dry ingredients; stir with fork just until dough begins to come together. Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead just until dough holds together, about 6 turns. Gather dough into round; pat out to 1/2-inch thickness. Using 3-inch biscuit cutter or cookie cutter dipped in flour, cut out rounds. Gather dough scraps together; pat out to 1/2-inch thickness and cut out more dough rounds for a total of 6. Transfer rounds to another rimmed baking sheet; brush tops lightly with milk, then sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Place cherries on baking sheet in bottom third of oven and biscuits in top third of oven. Bake until cherries are bubbling and biscuits are golden, about 17 minutes.
• Divide warm cherries among 6 bowls; top each with 1 biscuit and serve.

• Mix together buttermilk and heavy cream. Let sit at room temperature for six to eight hours.
