My scones were not as wet as they looked on the blog, and I had the same problem as some of the other bakers getting all the flour mixed in. I wasn't sure whether or not to mix in more buttermilk, because I wasn't sure if a wet dough was the goal. I had a bit of difficulty scooping and dropping because they dough was so dry. They did not spread in the oven, and are rather homely. It's a good thing they are iced. I made the recipe exactly as written except I used dried pineapple instead of candied orange peel (which I couldn't find and don't especially like). They are still hot, so I can't comment on the taste, but they smell great.
