I can't wait to try these scones with different fruits. I think they would be great with blueberries or raspberries.

I'm allergic to oranges, so I substituted lemon juice and zest in the recipe. The scones still turned out great!

I love the fact that these scones are made with whole wheat flour. It makes them a bit healthier than traditional scones.

These scones are a great way to use up leftover dates. I always have a few dates left over after making smoothies, and this is a great way to use them up.

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

I found that the scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
