I'm allergic to currants, so I substituted raisins instead. They turned out just as delicious!

These scones were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I love the fact that these scones are made with whole wheat flour. They're a healthier alternative to traditional scones.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my scones turned out really dense. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.
