This was my first time baking scones - sweet or savory. I followed the recipe quite precisely and used a sharp cheddar. The recipe yielded 8 very good sized scones. I found that the amount of dried thyme called for really overpowered the scones. Maybe my thyme was extra strong tasting; I don't know. The scones also baked quicker than the recipe called for and mine turned out bit dry. I am only giving this recipe 3 stars but the fault may lie with me (or the thyme) and not necessarily the recipe. I won't give up on scones and thank you for this recipe .. my first foray into scone making!
