These scones were a complete disaster! They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't taste good at all.

I found the scones to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These scones were a bit more dense than I expected, but they were still very good. I would recommend using a lighter flour next time.

I've made these scones several times now and they always turn out perfectly. They are a great way to use up leftover ricotta cheese.
