These scones were just okay. They weren't as flavorful as I thought they would be.

These scones are amazing! They're the perfect combination of sweet and savory, and the sesame seeds add a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making these again and again.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the scones didn't turn out as I expected. They were a bit too dense and crumbly.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter or milk next time.
