These scones were a complete disaster! They were so dry and crumbly that they fell apart when I tried to eat them. I ended up throwing them away.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my scones turned out really flat. They didn't have the same fluffy texture as the ones in the picture. Maybe I didn't mix the ingredients together properly.

These scones are 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.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my scones turned out really dense. They didn't have the same light and fluffy texture as the ones in the picture. Maybe I overmixed the dough.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less sugar. Other than that, they were pretty good.

These scones are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The crunchy sugar topping adds a nice contrast to the soft, fluffy interior. I served them with some fresh fruit and whipped cream and they were a hit!

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of scones, but I'm so glad I did! These scones were absolutely delicious. They were moist and flavorful with just the right amount of crunch. I'll definitely be making these again.
