I love the bright and buttery flavor of these tender scones with glaze that soaks in. Serve them with a yummy jam, or try them as a base for strawberry shortcake. -Angela LeMoine, Howell, New Jersey

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a little less flour. Otherwise, the flavor was good.

These scones were amazing! The citrus flavor was perfectly balanced, and the texture was light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making these again.

I made these scones for my family, and they were a big disappointment. The scones were dry and crumbly, and the citrus flavor was barely noticeable. I won't be making these again.

These scones were just okay. The citrus flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, and the scones were a bit too dry. I probably won't make these again.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added a little more milk to the dough. Otherwise, the flavor was good.

I'm not a huge fan of scones, but these were surprisingly good. The orange, lemon, and lime flavors really complemented each other, and the scones were nice and moist. I'd definitely make these again for a brunch or afternoon tea.
