I wasn't thrilled with the results the first time I made these scones, but I'm willing to give them another try. I think I might adjust the recipe a bit to see if I can improve the flavor and texture.

The scones were okay, but not amazing. They were a bit too dense for my liking, and the flavor was a bit one-dimensional.

The scones were a bit bland for my taste. I think they could have used a bit more sugar or spices to give them more flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scones turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I was disappointed with the results.

I'm always looking for healthier baking options, and these scones definitely fit the bill. They're made with whole wheat flour and sweetened with honey, so I can indulge without guilt.

As a beginner baker, I was a bit hesitant to try making scones, but I'm so glad I did! This recipe was incredibly easy to follow and the scones turned out amazing. They were golden brown and crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside.

These scones turned out absolutely delightful! The texture was perfectly crumbly and the flavor was out of this world. I added a bit of lemon zest and poppy seeds to give them an extra zing, and they were a hit at my brunch party.
