Not a fan of the ginger flavor. Otherwise, the scones were good.

These scones were a bit dry, but still tasty. I think I'll try adding a little more milk next time.

These ginger date scones were a delightful treat! The combination of sweet dates and spicy ginger was perfect, and the scones had a lovely crumbly texture. I'll definitely be making these again soon.
