2 cups flour, or a gluten-free flour mix ½ cup sugar ½ tsp salt 2 ½ tsp baking powder ½ cup butter, frozen ¼ cup sour cream ¼ cup milk 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla extract 2/3 cup rolled oats 1/3 cup sliced almonds extra milk

Whisk flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter and cut it into the flour mix until there is no dry powder.

Whisk milk, sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Pour over the flour mixture, add the oats and almonds, then stir to combine.

Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Dump the dough onto the sheet and press it together into a ball, then press it into a thick, flat disk. Use a dough cutter to cut it into 8 wedges. Pull them apart from each other. Brush the tops with the extra milk. Put the pan into the fridge or freezer while the oven is heating.

Preheat oven to 400° F. Bake for 18-25 minutes.

1 ½ cups flour ¼ cup sugar ¼ cup rolled oats ¼ cup butter 1/3 cup milk 1 egg Sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 400° F.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and oats. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl, beat together milk and egg yolk, then stir into flour mixture.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to ½” thick. Cut out biscuits with a 1 ½” round cutter. Reroll the dough and cut more biscuits. At this size, the recipe should make about 18 biscuits.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place biscuits on it.

In a small bowl, beat the egg white. Brush the tops of the biscuits with egg white, and top with sliced almonds.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Small batch for just 2 sandwiches.

2 Tbsp butter 2 Tbsp cream cheese or chevre ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped 1/8 tsp salt 4 slices of soft artisan bread ½ of a cucumber, thinly sliced or spiraled into noodles

The butter and cheese need to be soft. Stir the butter, cheese, mint, and salt into a smooth mixture.

Spread the mixture onto one side of each piece of bread, then add cucumber slices/noodles and form sandwiches. Cut them diagonally into quarters.

2 cups flour ½ tsp salt 1/3 cup sugar ½ tsp ground nutmeg 1 Tbsp baking powder 6 Tbsp cold butter, cut into pieces 2 eggs 1/3 cup plain yogurt or sour cream 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup peaches, diced small (fresh, canned, or frozen)

Preheat oven to 375° F and line a baking sheet with parchment.

If the peaches are frozen, they need to be thawed and not too cold.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, sugar, nutmeg, and baking powder. Cut in the butter until there are no large chunks.

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt/sour cream, and vanilla extract.

Stir the wet ingredients and peach pieces into the dry ingredients, until a loose, wet dough is formed.

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet; lightly press down the top of each one. Sprinkle the tops with sugar, if desired.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Let rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.

¼ cup thinly sliced onion ¼ cup minced garlic, raw or roasted 1 tsp fennel seed 1 Tbsp paprika 1 tsp cumin 3 Tbsp olive oil + some for sauteing 3 Tbsp lemon juice ½ tsp salt 2 cups cannelini beans or other white beans, cooked & rinsed

Saute onion with a small amount of olive oil, in a covered skillet over medium heat. Assemble the other ingredients in a food processor. When the onion is limp and translucent, add it to the food processor. Puree everything until it is as smooth as possible. Add a bit more lemon juice if necessary to make it smooth.
