Overall, I thought these scones were pretty good. They're easy to make and have a nice flavor. I would definitely make them again.

I found the scones to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These scones are a bit denser than I expected, but they're still very tasty. I think I might try adding a little more baking powder next time to make them a bit lighter.

These scones are a great way to use up leftover prunes. I had a bunch of prunes that were about to go bad, and I'm so glad I found this recipe. The scones were delicious, and I didn't have to waste any food.

I made these scones for my family, and they were an instant hit. My kids especially loved the sweet and tangy taste of the prunes. They're a great way to sneak in some extra fruit into their diet.

I'm not usually a fan of drop scones, but these ones changed my mind. The cardamom and prune combination is a game-changer. They're light, fluffy, and bursting with flavor. Perfect with a cup of tea on a cozy afternoon.

These scones were a hit at my brunch party! Everyone raved about the unique flavor and the tender texture. They disappeared in no time, and I'm already planning on making a double batch next time.

I was a bit hesitant about the prune-cardamom combo, but I'm glad I took the plunge. These scones turned out absolutely delicious! The sweetness of the prunes pairs perfectly with the warm, aromatic cardamom. Will definitely make these again.

I've tried many drop scone recipes, but this one is hands down the best. The cardamom-infused prunes add a unique and flavorful twist that elevates the scones to a whole new level. Highly recommended!
