Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C).

In a bowl, mix together flours, baking powder, 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt, pepper and rosemary. Add butter to dry ingredients to form a fine crumble. Stir in Perron Old Cheddar. Add buttermilk and mix lightly with a spatula.

On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for about 20 seconds. Roll out dough to make a round about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick. Let rest for 5 minutes.

With a 2-inch (5 cm) biscuit cutter, cut out dough and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until scones are golden.

Stir together sour cream, lime juice and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt.

Serve each scone with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of sour cream mixture and 2 slices of smoked salmon. Garnish with dill.
