I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones turned out a bit dry. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These scones are a bit more dense than some other recipes, but I actually prefer them that way. They're still light and fluffy, but they have a more substantial texture.

I topped my scones with a dollop of clotted cream and a sprinkle of fresh berries. It was the perfect way to enjoy a classic British tea time treat.

I used a mix of white and whole wheat flour, and the scones turned out great. They were still light and fluffy, but they had a bit more of a nutty flavor.

I added a bit of lemon zest to the recipe, and it gave the scones a nice citrusy flavor.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The scones were still delicious.

These scones are a great way to use up leftover buttermilk. I always have some on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I love the way these scones freeze. I can make a batch ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.
