Made these without the salt in the topping, and cut back on the salt in the dough. (Really don't want all that sodium). Added toasted sunflower seeds to the topping.They were really good served with beer/cheese chowder. Also good with scrambled eggs and grits the next morning.

Can anyone translate 450 grams of flour to cups?

One cup of flour is 120 grams so 450 grams is just under 4 cups (4 cups minus 2 tablespoons would be about right). If you can weigh the flour I really recommend it and if you don't have a scale, weigh carefully by spooning the flour into your measuring cup so you don't over measure. Too much flour will make the scones dense and heavy and they won't be as flaky!

am I the only person who thinks these look like/are biscuits? (delicious looking biscuits)

Totally right! There are pretty subtle differences between the two actually (well, Brits call cookies biscuits and American biscuits scones so it's all confusing!)...typically, we see American scones shaped in triangles, but classic scones are often shaped in circles. Generally the difference between the two is that scones have egg (and often a bit of sugar) and biscuits don't. Scones tend to be richer and more dense, often including heavy cream whereas biscuits will be lighter and airier than a recipe like this one. But there's quite a fine line between the two, especially depending on where you live.

Yay! I love everything scones! I put caraway seeds in my mix. I like to put a little sugar in the dough, so you get that savory/sweet thing going on.

Totally going to try caraway, love the idea of doing an entire bagel shop/Jewish deli line of scone variations, ha! I usually do add sugar to savory scones (mostly just a touch to keep them moist) and I have to say I tried it with these and didn't notice a difference oddly! I also felt like the onion and garlic flavor was so pronounced that it didn't benefit as much from the sweet/savory, as say, cheese scones.

Yes! The Bagel Shop scone! Do it! I once did a salt scone. Double the salt in the dough, and Maldon on top. Crazy good.
