For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the dough. Ensure your butter is very cold to create a flaky and tender scone. You can even freeze it for 15 minutes before cutting it into squares. If you don't have half-and-half, you can substitute it with a mixture of milk and heavy cream. Experiment with different spices in the glaze, such as cardamom or allspice, to create your own unique flavor profile.
