Instructions:
Heat oven to 400°F. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and dill weed in medium bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese.

Stir together egg, apple juice and half & half with fork in small bowl. Add to dry mixture; stir just until moistened.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead 10 times. Pat dough into 9-inch circle (1/2-inch thick) with lightly floured hands. Cut scones with floured 2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter.
