These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. Next time, I'll try adding a little bit of milk or cream to the batter.

I'm allergic to cheddar cheese. Do you think I could use a different type of cheese, like mozzarella or Parmesan?

I'm not a big fan of basil, but I love cheddar scones. I might try making these with chives or thyme instead.

Not bad, but not amazing either. The scones were a bit dry and the flavor was just okay. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These scones were a delight! The combination of basil and cheddar was unique and flavorful. The texture was perfect, with a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. I'll definitely be making these again!
