My family enjoyed these. They were a HUGE hit with my DD who ate 2 of the leftovers for breakfast the next morning. First time I've ever made any kind of scones, and they came together very nicely. Easy and fun. The dough has a nice light texture, but not too crumbly and just a hint of sweetness. I think I didn't put in enough salt and pepper because I felt they were lacking just a bit in the flavor department. I will measure those more carefully next time, or consider adding something extra like cumin. Overall a success and will be making these again. Thanks.
