I followed the recipe exactly and these turned out very heavy, not scone like at all. They didn't have much flavor either. I don't know how to fix it - probably will not make these again.

I don't know what went wrong with this recipe, I found it was much too liquid and I ended up almost doubling the amount of flour to get the right consistency. Possibly the type of cream used would make a differenc, I will try again with these measurements and see if it was my mistake.
