Recipe View 25 mins Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. (25 minutes)

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.

    My cranberries were frozen, and they worked perfectly fine. Just added them directly to the mix.

    I added a bit of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and it gave the scones a lovely flavor.
