These scones were just okay. They weren't as flavorful as I expected. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These lemon cream cheese scones were a hit with my family! They're light and fluffy, with a perfectly tangy lemon flavor. The cream cheese filling adds a creamy richness that takes them to the next level. I'll definitely be making these again!
