1
Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 450u00b0F. Stir brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in large nonstick skillet; stir in 1/2 cup water. Stir over medium heat until sugar and cornstarch dissolve. Add cherries; bring to boil, scraping sides of skillet and stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice and lime peel. Transfer filling to 11x7x2-inch glass baking dish. Place dish on rimmed baking sheet.
2
Whisk flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl. Whisk creme fraiche, vanilla, and lime peel in small bowl. Add creme fraiche mixture to dry ingredients; stir with fork just until dough begins to come together. Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead just until dough holds together, about 6 turns. Gather dough into round; pat out to 1/2-inch thickness. Using 3-inch biscuit cutter or cookie cutter dipped in flour, cut out rounds. Gather dough scraps together; pat out to 1/2-inch thickness and cut out more dough rounds for a total of 6. Transfer rounds to another rimmed baking sheet; brush tops lightly with milk, then sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
