I'm a vegan. Can I make these scones without using butter or eggs?

I'm allergic to walnuts. Can I substitute another nut, like pecans or almonds?

These scones are way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my scones turned out flat and dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These scones were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more milk next time.

I'm not a fan of cranberries, but I loved these scones! The walnuts and glaze really balanced out the tartness of the cranberries.

These scones are a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a bag of cranberries in my freezer and these scones are a perfect way to use them up.
