    I absolutely LOVE this recipe. I halved it since I live alone, and made them into biscuits. I also added just about a tablespoon of fresh parsley. They were SO flaky and tender. This is second time I have made them, and both times came out perfect. This is a new favorite. Thank you, Ina!

    dry, tasteless, soooo disappointing and I followed the recipe to the letter. I'm wondering if Ina has resorted to a recipe list that's not her own. I've been rewarded by using her recipes right up till the last three which have been utter failures compared to what I'm used to.

    Love this recipe!! Were easy and did not have to wait for them to rise or proof. The biscuits were flaky and delicous. I did not have any dill, so I sprinkled them with herbs. Served them with homemade soup and my family could not believe they were homemade because of their flakiness and great taste.

    I gotta say, I couldn't bring myself to put 1 cup of heavy cream into this recipe. I just couldn't. Especially with perfectly good buttermilk in the house. I just added a cup of cold buttermilk instead of a cup of heavy cream. Worked like a charm. You can also substitute low fat cheddar with excellent results. It's not quite the same, but it's fine for everyday occasions.

    Great - I didn't have enough butter (can you believe it? so I used shortening. I added 1 tablespoon of garlic powder to the dry ingredients. Awesome - next time I will use butter, but they were great anyhow!!

    Very good! I actually thought they needed a little extra salt, but I just brushed them with butter and sprinkled kosher salt on top afterward and it fixed them right up! (must have to do with the cheddar I used not being very salty. Super flaky and light. Like a yummy cheesy biscuit!

    Made these for a friend who is an avid scone fan: Cut the recipe in half and made the following changes.

    used 2 sticks of butter to 2 cups of flour
    used shredded white cheddar because I had it
    used chives because the garden is overflowing
    used buttermilk instead of cream

    Fabulous. They disappeared and the recipe was requested by all. I'll make again, and potentially swap out the dill with other seasonal herbs. Bet gruyere and thyme would be good, too. Dill and havarti with a touch of mustard, anyone?

    Awesome! I'd never made scones and I don't have a stand mixer or even a hand held one BUT I LOVE BAKING, so I tried this with one fourth of the recipe and cut with simple round cookie cutters and couldn't believe myself, the scones are featherlight,flaky, moist and melt in your mouth.
    I'm from India and I love green coriander/cilantro, so I added cilantro, some dried oregano for seasoning and the result was for super awesome.
