Scones were very dry and fell apart when we ate them

The reviews calling this recipe too dry are right! There's not even enough milk to hold the dough together. This is more like flour with wet spots in it. This dough was completely unusable and went into the trash.

Amazing quick easy scones I’ve made with blueberries blackberries orange with currants and more Perfect every time .

I don't understand the poor reviews. I make this all the time. The dough isn't dry, it's plenty sweet and lovely. I add a lemon confectioners sugar glaze.

I don't understand the complaints about these being dry or tasteless. The dough was very easy to work with, and I had to sprinkle a little flour on it to keep from sticking to my fingers. I didn't have blueberries, so used frozen blackberries. The scones are light, airy, packed with berry juiciness, and delicious!

I have made plenty of scone recipes before, for years actually, and have tried all kinds of recipes. I have never had an issue, until this one. There is too much flour for 3/4 cup milk. I had to add more milk just to get it to come together. I didn't add the blueberries at the step stated, because it seemed to me, the way the dough was, it would have been very difficult to incorporate them in. So I added them to the dry mix. The flavor was bland. I will never use this recipe again and would not recommend it.

This is the worst scone recipe I've ever made, it has two cups flour too much and is dry and tasteless. Time to rework, don't waste your time making these.

I bake daily either at home or at work and THIS is a PERFECT scone recipe! For those reviewers that suggest these are "too dry" or "not sweet enough" aren't familiar with scones! By definition a scone is a small "unsweetened or lightly sweetened biscuit like cake".

Scones turned out soft and flakey, but they were rather bland and definitely not sweet enough.

I don't know what I did wrong but I followed the directions exactly and all I got was a very dry consistency that wouldn't hold together. 4 cups of flour seems way too much with only 3/4 cup milk. Should this have been only 2 cups like other recipes? I tried adding a little more milk but didn't help much. I mixed everything by hand and cut in the butter. Maybe using my mixer would have been better but I was afraid of over mixing. Ended up throwing it all away. Was so looking forward to these! This was my first recipe failure.
