MMMMM--------------------BUTTERMILK BISCUITS-------------------------
     2 c  A-P flour
     1 tb Baking powder
   1/2 ts Kosher salt
   1/2 ts Baking soda
   2/3 c  Unsalted butter; diced
   3/4 c  Buttermilk

 Seet oven @ 425 F/218 C.

 Toss celery, onions, carrots, and fennel in oil to coat. Spread in
 a single layer in a 15x10x1" baking pan. Roast, stirring
 occasionally, until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool. Reduce
 heat to 350 F/175 C.

 Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until
 smooth. Gradually whisk in broth; add thyme. Bring to a boil,
 stirring constantly; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Add roasted
 vegetables, ham, tarragon, salt, and pepper, cooking until heated
 through. Transfer to a greased 13x9" baking dish.

 For biscuits, pulse flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in
 a food processor until blended. Add cubed butter; pulse until
 butter is the size of peas. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in
 buttermilk until no flour is visible. Turn onto a floured surface;
 knead gently 8 to 10 times. Roll dough into a 13x9" rectangle; cut
 into shapes of your choice.

 Arrange biscuit pieces, overlapping slightly, over ham mixture.
 Bake until biscuit topping is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let
 stand 10 minutes before serving.
