These Dill Soda Scones are a savory twist on a classic breakfast scone. The addition of fresh dill gives these scones a burst of herbaceous flavor, while the bicarbonate of soda helps them rise and become beautifully fluffy. These scones can be enjoyed warm with butter or cream cheese, or as a side to a hearty soup or salad.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and bicarbonate of soda.
3.	Using your fingers, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
4.	Stir in the chopped dill.
5.	Gradually add the buttermilk, mixing until the dough comes together.
6.	Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently.
7.	Pat the dough into a circle, about 1 inch thick.
8.	Cut the dough into 8 triangular wedges.
9.	Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
10.	Serve warm with butter or cream cheese.
