I'm not usually a fan of scones, but these were really good. The spices gave them a nice depth of flavor and the walnuts added a nice crunch.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

The flavor was spot on, but I found the scones to be a bit dry. Next time, I will add a little more butter or milk to the dough.
