Scones are typically made using a heavy cream, truly the most delicious, and the most traditional way to make scones. However, if you are lactose intolerant, or simply don't keep cream on hand, regular milk will do. These scones can be made with milk, coconut milk, almond milk, or cashew milk. I bet rice milk would even work.  For this recipe we used almond milk and they turned out delicious!  We first tried this recipe using an entire cup of milk, but it was much too cake-like for us, we prefer the crumble of these scones with only 3/4 cup milk!
