These scones are a great way to use up leftover fruit. I used blueberries instead of currants and they turned out delicious.

These scones are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These scones are a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.
