Asparagus Shortcake with Cheese Sauce
Heat oven to 450° (hot). Make Biscuit dough (recipe [page 3]). Roll out ¼″ thick. Cut into 4 or 5″ rounds. Bake about 10 min. Split. Serve sandwich-fashion with about 5 spears of freshly cooked asparagus between biscuit halves. Make Cheese Sauce by heating 1½ cups medium white sauce, 2 cups grated sharp cheese (½ lb.), ¼ tsp. dry mustard, and few grains thyme over hot water until cheese melts. Pour over top. Garnish with sprig of parsley. 4 to 5 servings.
