These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scones didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a bit too dry and didn't have the same light and fluffy texture as the scones in the pictures.

I've tried many scone recipes, but this one is by far the best. The scones turned out perfectly golden brown and had a wonderful crumbly texture. They were also incredibly flavorful, with a delicate hint of lemon.

These scones were absolutely delightful! The texture was perfect, with a crispy exterior and a fluffy, tender interior. The flavor was also spot-on, with just the right amount of sweetness and a hint of lemon.
