Steps:
- When the butter is really soft, tip it into a bowl along with the sugar. Using an electric hand whisk or exercising some arm muscle, beat together until the sugar is mixed through. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, if you like. Stir in the flour and oats. The mixture will be quite stiff at this point. Now decide what else you would like to add - any or all of the flavours are delicious - and stir through.
- Tear off an A4-size sheet of greaseproof paper. Pile up half the mixture in the middle of the sheet, then use a spoon to thickly spread the mixture along the centre of the paper. Pull over one edge of paper and roll up until you get a tight cylinder. If you have problems getting it smooth, then roll as you would a rolling pin along a kitchen surface. You'll need it to be about the width of a teacup. When it is tightly wrapped, twist up the ends and then place in the freezer. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- To cook, heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and unwrap the frozen biscuit mix. Using a sharp knife, cut off a disk about ½cm wide. If you have difficulty slicing through, dip the knife into a cup of hot water. Cut off as many biscuits as you need, then pop the mix back into the freezer for another time. Place on a baking sheet, spacing them widely apart as the mixture will spread when cooking, then cook for 15 mins until the tops are golden brown. Leave to cool for at least 5 mins before eating.

Steps:
- Cover a baking slide with baking paper.
- Place the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper or sugar in the bowl of a food processor; pulse till all ingredients are mixed.
- Gradually add the butter cubes one at a time, while the processor motor is running, till the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add the variation ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and olive oil and gradually pour into the meal mixture until it combines and soft dough is formed.
- Place the dough on a sheet of freezer-go-between and mould it into a log about 15cm long and 3cm wide.
- If you're planning to make the biscuits straight away, refrigerate the dough for a couple of hours till it firms up enough to be able to slice without collapsing.
- If you're making the dough in advance of baking later, freeze the log until required.
- When ready to make your biscuits, bring the dough to room temperature for 15 minutes before cutting off the number of slices required.
- The rest can be returned to the freezer and refrozen.
- Preheat the oven at this time.You can also roll this mixture out and cut with cookie cutters and bake immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage and cook about 4-5 minutes, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon as you go along. Add mushrooms and continue cooking until sausage is done and no longer pink.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix well the ricotta, mozzarella, and basil. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Roll out each biscuit onto a lightly floured work surface using a rolling pin. Roll/flatten until double in size (6"-7" in diameter).
- When sausage mixture is done, drain well on paper towels, patting down well to remove as much grease/oil as you can. Add to cheese mixture. Blending well.
- To the rolls, place about 2 heaping tablespoons of the mixture into the center, keeping away from the sides. Using a pastry brush, brush around HALF of the edges. DO NOT BRUSH ALL AROUND OR IT WILL NOT STICK TOGETHER.
- Fold rolls in half over the filling (fold the un-brushed side onto the brushed side). Seal the edges by gently pressing the tines of a fork around the folded edge.
- Place onto ungreased baking sheet (best to use parchment or a silpat underneath) Brush tops with remaining eggwash and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Using the tip of a sharp knife, pierce hole in top of calzones to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown. Let sit a few minutes before serving with marinara sauce.
Tips
- For a flakier biscuit, use cold butter and grate it into the flour mixture.
- Do not overwork the dough, as this will make the biscuits tough.
- Cut the biscuits out with a sharp knife or biscuit cutter to prevent them from becoming misshapen.
- Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or gravy.
