These scones are a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

These scones were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either. I probably won't make them again.

I was disappointed with these scones. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor. I think I'll stick to my old recipe.

These scones were a bit denser than I expected, but they were still very good. I think I might try using a different flour next time to see if that makes a difference.
