These scones were a bit too dense for my taste, but they were still good.

I've tried many scone recipes, but this one is by far the best. The scones are always light, fluffy, and flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scones turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These scones were a delight! The orange and chocolate chips complemented each other perfectly, and the texture was light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making these again.
