I'm not a big fan of currants, but these scones were still really good.

Not bad, but not great either. The scones were a bit dry and crumbly, and the currant flavor was not as pronounced as I would have liked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Easy to make and oh so delicious! I've made these scones several times now and they always turn out perfect. The currants add a lovely burst of flavor and the scones are always light and fluffy. I like to serve them warm with a dollop of clotted crea
