    I don't normally like savory scones but these were awesome. Very flaky with great flavors! I small-diced my cheddar like Ina recommended, and they ended up staying in globs that oozes out--not attractive. But they still tasted great and next time I'll use a higher quality cheddar.

    These are delicious. I made a half batch, which yielded 8 large scones. I used half & half in place of the heavy cream. My partner doesn't care for dill so I used minced chives. Based on some Food Network reviews that said the cheese oozed out of the scones during baking, I finely grated it in my food processor (also easier) and didn't have any problem. The dough was very sticky so I didn't really knead much, and patted into a square rather than rolled with a pin. I baked 2 right away in the toaster oven to avoid heating up the house and they were done in 17-18 minutes. I didn't add the egg wash but if I did I'd also add some fleur de sel, but they don't need it. I froze the rest unbaked so will see how those turn out.

    I haven't made scones in a long time and I had it in my head that they needed a light touch. These have you knead the dough for 1 minute so I was a bit concerned but they were delicious. I thought I had baked them too long as when I took them out at the minimum bake time of 20 mins they were quite dark. But they were wonderful when cut into - flaky, cheesy, rich. So good. I sprinkled a little grated cheese on top as my memory of cheese scones has that. I also used thyme as no dill to be had. I'll be making these again. Like anya_sf I got 6 scones from a 1/4 recipe (the recipe is easily quartered).

    Very good but very rich. 1/4 recipe made 6 good-sized scones.
