How thick? Mine seems to be about the thickness
of the width of my thumb, so a bit less than an
inch. It has the shocker (that's for me the main
reason for its being there). I was told I'd learn
to ignore its presence, the claim being that many 
people forget there's an intruder inside. That 
seems to be hard to believe.

      Title: BASIL-PARMESAN SCONES
 Categories: Breads, Appetizers
   Servings:  4

      1    Recipe buttermilk bisquits               Dash garlic & onion
    1/2 c  Parmesan                                 Powder, black pepper
      1 tb Basil

  There's a bakery near me called Aunt Mary's (are you listening, Sallie?)
  and they have the most wonderful basil-parmesan scones.  One day I
  experimented and was pleased to find a pretty good facsimile.

  Just add the above ingredients along with all the other dry ingredients
and
  proceed as above.  These are a nice change of pace from Italian or garlic
  bread.  Or cut with smaller cutter and serve as appetizer (don't forget
to
  reduce baking time if smaller). Source inknown
