• Turn out dough onto lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth, about 6 turns. Flatten dough to 3/4-inch-thick round. Cut out rounds using 2 3/4-inch-diameter plain or scalloped cookie cutter. Gather dough scraps and shape into 3/4-inch-thick round. Cut out additional dough rounds.
• Transfer rounds to heavy large ungreased baking sheet. Bake until biscuits are puffed and golden, about 23 minutes. Transfer biscuits to rack and cool slightly. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Rewarm biscuits in 350°F. oven just until heated through, about 5 minutes.)

SHORTCAKE WITH FRESH RHUBARB SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Grease an 8-in. square baking pan. In a heatproof bowl, cover rhubarb with boiling water; let stand 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry., Meanwhile, in a bowl, cream shortening and sugar until blended. Beat in egg. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cinnamon; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Fold in drained rhubarb and walnuts. Transfer to prepared pan; bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack., In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sugar and water; bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Stir in rhubarb; return to a boil.

RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine rhubarb with sugar over low heat. When the rhubarb starts to soften, but before it falls apart, about 5 minutes, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a bowl.
• Cook down the remaining liquid in the pan until it thickens and turns syrupy, about 5 minutes longer. (This condenses and intensifies the rhubarb flavor.) Add the syrup to the bowl with the rhubarb and let cool. Compote will keep for at least a week in the fridge.

BUTTERMILK SHORTCAKES WITH RHUBARB AND BERRIES

Steps:

• Prepare baking sheet Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut butter into dry ingredients Whisk together flours, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the largest pieces are the size of small peas.
• Mix dough Rub the vanilla seeds into the buttermilk with your fingers (this is the best way to disperse the seeds, but alternatively, you can scrape the bean against the side of the measuring cup with a rubber spatula). Add the buttermilk to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until most of the ingredients have come together into a moist dough (it's okay if some flour is left on bottom of bowl).
• Form biscuits Turn out dough onto a clean work surface and gather any loose bits together. Press lightly to fully incorporate all the ingredients while patting into a rough rectangle, being careful not to overwork the dough. Fold dough into thirds: Starting with a short end, carefully fold over, then fold the other end over the first.. (The folding adds an extra layering of flakiness to the finished biscuits.) Pat out dough until 1 1/4 inches thick. Using a floured biscuit cutter, cut dough into 2 1/2-inch rounds.
• Bake Preheat oven to 400°F. Place rounds on prepared cookie sheet, about 1 inch apart. Gather together scraps; pat out again, and cut once. Chill 20 minutes. Brush tops with the cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake 10 minutes, and rotate sheet. Reduce heat to 375°F, and continue to bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 12 minutes more. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool.
• Serve Split biscuits, and layer with whipped cream and rhubarb compote. Serve berries on the side. Or, set out a platter of biscuits and bowls of each topping and let guests build their own shortcakes. Biscuits are best eaten the day they are made.
• IN A DEEP MIXING BOWL set in a large ice-water bath, whisk cream by hand until soft peaks form. Sprinkle with the sugar, add vanilla, and whisk until soft peaks return. Do not overbeat.
• Prepare rhubarb Wash rhubarb well and dry thoroughly with paper towels (wipe each stalk to remove any grit). Cut crosswise on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces (you should have about 5 cups).
• Make poaching syrup Bring sugar, water, zests, and salt to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add rhubarb, and stir to coat in sugar syrup. (There won't be enough syrup to cover, but the compote will become more liquidy once the fruit starts to release its juices.) Cover and cook over medium-low heat until rhubarb is just tender, about 5 minutes. (Do not overcook; you want most of the rhubarb pieces to hold their shape.)
• Cool Remove from heat and let cool completely, about 1 hour, before using. Compote can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week.
• IN A BOWL, toss berries with sugar and lemon juice to combine. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes to draw out some of the juices before serving.

RHUBARB OAT SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Make the shortcakes: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together flour, 1 cup/90 grams oats, the brown sugar, the baking powder, the zest and the sea salt. Drop in butter and pulse until mixture forms lima-bean-size crumbs. Add cream and pulse until dough is just combined.
• On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a rectangle 3/4 inch/2 centimeters thick. Brush generously with heavy cream and, lifting up a short side, fold dough in half as if you are closing a book. Cut dough into 6 squares. Transfer biscuits to prepared pan. Brush lightly with more cream and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon oats and the Demerara sugar. Chill until ready to bake.
• Make the roasted rhubarb: In a large bowl, toss together rhubarb, Demerara sugar, melted butter, vanilla bean seeds and salt. Spread onto a large rimmed baking sheet. Transfer rhubarb to the oven. Bake 5 minutes.
• Add pan of biscuits to the oven with rhubarb. Continue to bake, tossing rhubarb occasionally and scraping the darkening pieces at the edges of the baking sheet into the center, until biscuits are golden and rhubarb is very tender and the juices are bubbling thickly and have caramelized at the edges of the pan, about 20 minutes longer. If biscuits are ready before rhubarb, remove from oven while rhubarb finishes cooking. Let biscuits and rhubarb cool completely.
• To serve: In a small bowl, whisk together cream, crème fraîche and confectioners' sugar or honey, if using, until mixture forms soft peaks. Split biscuits crosswise and spoon rhubarb and whipped cream over biscuit bottoms. Cover with biscuit tops.
