Dill and Cheese Scones (eggless) - Scones are usually eaten with butter or jam but these double cheese scones are just as good eaten on their own. The combination of Parmesan and matured sharp Cheddar cheese gives an extra flavour to the usual cheese scones. Best eaten warm with your favorite cup of tea. Add cheese or herbs to the batter to make savoury scones. Or, add orange or lemon zest; dried raisins, dried blueberries, currants, dried cranberries, or other dried fruit, that have been plumped in hot water and drained. The possibilities are as endless as your imagination! The most important thing to remember when making scones is to work the dough as little as possible. Thank you and good luck
