For best results, use very cold butter and handle the dough as little as possible to keep the scones tender. If you don't have half-and-half, you can use a mixture of equal parts milk and heavy cream. Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as pecans or almonds, for the walnuts. These scones are best enjoyed warm, on the day they are baked. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
