These scones were amazing! The ricotta made them so moist and flavorful, and the rhubarb-orange compote was the perfect topping. I'll definitely be making these again soon.

I found the scones to be a bit too sweet, but the compote was perfect. I'll definitely be making the compote again, but I'll probably use a different scone recipe next time.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste, but the compote was delicious. I think I'll try adding some more butter to the scones next time, or maybe even some sour cream.
