I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but I thought I'd give these scones a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! They were absolutely delicious. The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the scones were perfectly moist.

These scones were very easy to make, and they turned out beautifully. I love the way the currant filling looks swirled throughout the scones.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding more butter or cream next time.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
