How big is the diameter supposed to be? Mine turned out undebaked eben after leaving it in for a longer time. There is a baking soda aftertaste but it dissipates. I didn't add sugar though. Would that create the aftertaste?

I've attempted scones one other time and the recipe did not call for sifted flour - the outcome was a disaster! The sifted flour made all the difference I believe in keeping these scones "sconey"<br/><br/>These scones are barely sweet but the orange notes sweeten up the blackberries. <br/>I doubled the recipe with no problems.
