I love the combination of ginger and dates in these scones. They're the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.

I'm not a big fan of scones, but I thought these were actually pretty good. They were moist and flavorful, and the ginger and date flavors were a nice change from the usual blueberry or chocolate chip scones.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I might try using less sugar next time.

Not a fan. The scones were too dense and the ginger flavor was overpowering.

I was disappointed with these scones. They were dry and crumbly, and the flavor was bland.

Delicious! I used dried cranberries instead of dates and they turned out great.

Not bad! I thought the ginger flavor was a bit too strong, but my husband loved them. I might try using less ginger next time.
