These are good scones, but I think they need more cheese in them (maybe little chunks of cheddar instead of shredding it which makes the cheese simply disappear into the scone). I used whole wheat pastry flour instead of white, and I don't do sour cream so used plain yogurt instead. Thanks for sharing!
