These scones are an abomination. They should be banned from the internet.

These scones are the worst scones I've ever had. They're dry, crumbly, and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scones turned out flat and dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I had a hard time getting the scones to rise. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I'm not a huge fan of scones, but these were really good. They were light and fluffy, and the walnuts added a nice touch.

These scones are a great way to use up leftover walnuts. I always have a bag of walnuts in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.
