These scones were delicious! The currants added a great flavor and the scones were very moist. However, I found that they were a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I will reduce the amount of sugar.

I made these scones for my family and they were a big hit! Everyone loved the sweet and tangy flavor of the currants. The scones were also very easy to make, which is always a plus.

These currant scones were a delightful treat! The scones were light and fluffy with a slightly crisp exterior. The currants added a sweet and tangy flavor that perfectly complemented the scones. I would definitely make these again.
