I thought these scones were just average. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These scones were good, but I think they would have been better with a little more flavor. I might add some spices or extracts next time.

I found these scones to be a bit too sweet. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more milk or cream next time.

I've tried many scone recipes, but this one is by far the best. The scones are light and fluffy, with a perfect crumb. They're also very flavorful, thanks to the cranberries and pistachios.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed these scones. The pistachios added a nice crunch and the scones were perfectly moist.
