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.

BEST CREAMED TURKEY WITH THYME BISCUITS

Steps:

• Sauce -- It in medium size pot, melt the butter and add the chicken until well heated through, 5 or so minutes on medium heat. Add the flour and mix to combine well. Add the milk, sherry, thyme, salt and pepper and stir until well mixed and cook on medium until the sauce becomes thick. Reduce to low while you make the biscuits.
• Note: if you like the sauce thicker go a bit shy of the milk or just the opposite you want it thinner or more sauce -- just add more milk.
• Biscuits -- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, add the bisquick, milk, thyme, cheddar and pepper and mix well. On a cookie or baking sheets lined with parchment or sprayed with pam drop spoonfuls of the mix on the pan. I like a couple of spoonfuls per biscuit. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
• Serving -- Slice in half on your plate and serve the creamed turkey on top. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve this with a nice green vegetable like broccoli rabe which could be roasted right along with the biscuits. Comfort food doesn't get much better.

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, baking soda, and thyme leaves. Add butter and cut into flour mixture using a pastry cutter or blend using your fingers until pea-sized lumps remain.
• Make a well in the center and add buttermilk. Stir using a fork or wooden spoon until large clumps form; do not allow a dough to form in the bowl. Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured work surface, and using lightly floured hands, knead two or three times just until a dough forms.
• Pat dough into a 1-inch-thick square. Using a sharp knife, cut 2-inch-square biscuits and transfer to prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.

GRILLED HOT HONEY BISCUITS WITH THYME-ROASTED PEACHES

Steps:

• To make the Thyme-Roasted Peaches:.
• Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Cut the halves into 4 wedges each. Lay half of the peaches in two rows on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold over them on both sides.
• Scatter one tablespoon of the butter, half of the thyme and 1 tablespoon of honey over the peaches. Repeat this process with another piece of foil and the remaining peaches and ingredients.
• Lightly sprinkle salt over the prepared peaches. Bring the long ends of the foil to meet over the peaches and fold over to seal. Bring the short ends over and press together to seal. This will create two flat packets.
• Place the packets, seam-side down on a grill set to medium heat. Cook with the grill cover on for 5 minutes. Flip the packets and cook for another 5 minutes until the peaches are tender when pierced with a fork but not over cooked. Let rest.
• To make the Grilled Hot Honey Biscuits:.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and lemon zest. Add the butter and work it into the dry mixture with your fingers until the butter forms small pea-sized clumps. Stir in the buttermilk and gently knead the dough until it comes together.
• Roll into a 3-inch-thick log and cut into 8 even pieces. Press the biscuits into 1/2-inch thick disks. The biscuits should be flatter than normal to enable them to be cooked on the grill.
• Spray both sides of the biscuits with nonstick spray and place on the grill set to very low heat. Cook for 5 minutes on each side with the grill cover on. The biscuits are done when they are firm and not squishy in the middle. (NOTE: due to the inconsistent heat of grills, it's important to monitor the biscuit's cooking. If needed, flip the biscuits more than once to ensure they are cooked through without burning them.).
• Once the biscuits are done, remove from the grill and drizzle with the hot honey. Set aside to cool slightly.
• To assemble:.
• Top the biscuits with 3 or 4 pieces of peaches, making sure to include any delicious juices that seeped out and garnish with a dollop of crème fraiche or unsweetened whipped cream.

THYME BISCUITS

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.
