Eggless Cheddar Cheese Scones

 
          Another dish that I had made with Cheddar Cheese is these delicious Savory Scones. Scones have neither a soft or a hard texture, they are somewhere in the middle and they are great for breakfast or as a teatime snack. I have already posted a couple of scones on my blog and they are all sweet ones, this is my first savory one. When I say that the whole house smelled divine, while the scones were in the oven, I am not exaggerating, in fact they smelt so good even when I was mixing and rolling out the dough. Do try out these delicious scones if you like savory bakes and cheddar cheese, I am sure you'll love it..

Note
You can leave out the whole wheat flour and use only all purpose flour.
The butter has to be cold to get the crumbly texture.
I have used chia seed powder in the place of 2 eggs.
Don't bake too long, the scones will lose it's soft texture, remove as soon as the top turns golden, keep an eye after 15 minutes.
