I'm not a big fan of scones, but these were really good! They were light and fluffy, and the filling was creamy and sweet. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who loves scones.

These scones were a huge disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the filling was bland. I won't be making these again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scones didn't rise very much. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter or cream next time.
