Overall, I thought these scones were pretty good. They're a nice change from the usual chocolate chip cookies or muffins.

These scones were a bit dry. I think I should have added more milk or butter to the dough.

I had some trouble getting the scones to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These scones were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I'll use less sugar.
