• Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little buttermilk.

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder,
• lemon peel, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in
• shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the
• center of dry mixture. In a small mixing bowl combine the buttermilk
• and mayonnaise or Miracle Whip , add to dry mixture all at once.
• Using a fork, stir just until moistened.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Quickly knead
• dough by folding and pressing gently for 10 to 12 strokes or until the
• dough is nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness.
• Cut dough with a floured 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter, dipping the cutter
• into flour between cuts.
• Place biscuits 1 inch apart on an unerased baking sheet. Bake in a
• 450 degree F. oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Remove the
• biscuits from the baking sheet and cool slightly. If desired, drizzle
• Lemon Glaze over the biscuits just before serving. Serve warm. Makes
• 10 to 12 biscuits.
• Lemon Glaze: In a mixing bowl stir together 1 cup sifted powdered
• sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel,
• and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time,
• until glaze is smooth and of drizzling consistency.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cream of tartar. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or a fork until it is the size of peas. Make a well in the center of the mixture and measure the milk, cheese and thyme into the bowl. Gently mix until a soft dough forms.
• Roll or pat out on a floured surface to 3/4 inch thick. Cut into circles and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms of the biscuits are golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare baking sheet with a light coating of cooking spray.
• Sift together the flours, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir in the thyme. Cut in the butter, then take up the flour and roll briskly between the palms of your hands so the mixture has the consistency of coarse cornmeal. This step can also be done in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, using the pulse action.
• Stir the milk and yogurt (or buttermilk) into the mixture. Lightly flour your hands. Using your hands, bring the dough together until it forms a lump. Use care in not over keading the dough (as you would with bread) as that will result in hockey pucks not biscuits. It will be slightly sticky, that's okay. Again, the less you work the dough, the lighter your biscuits will be.
• Roll out to a thickness of about 3/4 inch and cut into squares, triangles, or rounds. For bite-size biscuits, cut into squares, then cut the squares diag onally into small triangles.
• Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until they're just lightly browned. Caution, the smaller your biscuits, the shorter the baking time.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Biscuits: Pre-heat oven to 180°.
• In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together.
• Roll out onto baking paper until 3mm thick.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
• Allow to cool and break into desired size.
• Carrots: Tip the carrots into a wide shallow pan so they are no more than a double layer.
• Add the butter, honey, lemon and about 300ml of water, and a pinch of salt.
• Cover with a lid, turn the heat up high and boil everything until the carrots are tender.
• Remove the lid and reduce until all the water has evaporated.
• Serve immediately, with thyme biscuits and a twist of black pepper on top.

Steps:

• For berries:
• Combine all ingredients in large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until berries are slightly softened and syrup coats spoon, about 10 minutes. Transfer to medium glass bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
• For biscuits:
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with silicone baking mat, smooth side up, or parchment paper. Mix buttermilk, lemon peel, and thyme in small bowl. Whisk next 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend, breaking up any large clumps of brown sugar with fingertips. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk mixture and stir with fork just until blended (dough will be sticky). Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface. Knead gently just until dough comes together, 4 to 5 turns (do not overwork dough or shortcakes will be tough). Pat dough out to 3/4-inchthick round. Using 3-inch-diameter cookie cutter dipped in flour, cut out dough rounds. Gently gather dough scraps and pat out to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut out additional rounds, for 6 rounds total. Transfer dough rounds to prepared baking sheet, spacing apart. Sprinkle dough rounds with raw sugar.
• Bake biscuits until golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool slightly.
• Using serrated knife, carefully cut biscuits horizontally in half. Place bottom half of each biscuit on each of 6 plates. Spoon blueberries and syrup over, dividing equally. Cover with biscuit tops. Place scoop of ice cream or dollop of whipped cream alongside each and serve.
• Also called turbinado or demerara sugar; available at most supermarkets and at natural foods stores.
