I'm not a huge fan of scones, but I really enjoyed these. They were light and fluffy, and the currants added a nice sweetness. I'll definitely be making them again.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. I'll definitely try them again, but I'll use less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones turned out really dense and heavy. They were still tasty, but they weren't as light and fluffy as I was hoping for.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste, but I think that was because I didn't use enough cream. I'll definitely try them again, but I'll be sure to use more cream next time.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste, but I think that was because I overcooked them. I'll definitely try them again, but I'll be sure to keep a closer eye on them in the oven.
