    These were great! I didn't have enough dill, so I only used about 1/2 cup which seemed to work out well.
    The recipe makes a lot, so be prepared to share them.
    I patted the dough out by hand and just used a knife to create the square.
    These really are terrific so give them a try. I bet they would be great with tomato soup or cup up really small as an appetizer.

    Use the sharpest cheddar you can find. Add some other herbs such as thyme and rosemary.
    Just because Ina rates her recipes Limited Time Only does not mean that you can't get the recipe. Look at the top of the page and see ENTER SEARCH TERM. Keyboard in what you want and click the red SEARCH. Do not press ENTER. You may get tons of recipes, some off the wall, but you will eventually get there. Also, you can go to Ina's site by going to CHEF RECIPES.

    Sometimes you have to do a lot of surfing, but you will FIND other great recipes and will be GLAD YOU DID.

    These are excellent! The recipe reminded us of the Cheddar Herb Scones at Zingermans in Ann Arbor. We added about a quarter cup of fresh rosemary (we made a half batch and a very sharp English white cheddar. Dough was very wet, but turned out delicious! Can't stop eating them. Don't worry about this one -- it's a keeper! `Denise & Ron in Michigan

    I make these scones for my English teacher. We both love them. They are interesting and super tasty.

    I had been wanting to make these for a long time...finally did, and followed the recipe exactly. They came out with very little flavor - all I could taste was dough, and a slight hint of dill. Anyone have ideas as to what went wrong? I thought the cheddar would make these very tasty.

    I agree that these may be the most highly caloric scones I have ever made, but I have made them several times for special occasions to rave reviews each time. They are delicious and so moist and tender they need no accompaniment. While they may not be for every day, they are shining stars on special days. I sometimes change out the herb depending on the time of day I am serving them. For example, if we are having them for brunch, I might substitute sage, cut them smaller and serve them alongside sausage.

    These were extremely tasteless and dry. Considering how many calories that must be in these, they are definitely not worth it.

    This is a great recipe. Easy and delicious! The cheddar and dill are a great combination and the scones themselves are fluffy in the middle but crisp on the outside. Will definitely be making again in the future!

    I made these scones in place of crackers for a cheese platter at a dinner party. They were a hit and everyone wanted the recipe.

    Directions: Follow recipe as directed, but instead of making scones into 3/4", I rolled out the dough to 1/4" and used a mini cookie cutter to form to crackers, baked and serve with a variety of cheeses.
