To ensure that you making perfect scones that come out moist and fluffy, be sure to follow the recipe precisely and avoid making any substitutions. Also, be sure to use cold ingredients and handle the dough as little as possible so that it doesn't become tough. Overworked dough will result in tougher, drier scones. Be gentle when mixing everything together, and only knead it enough to form a rough ball. Then use a light hand when shaping the dough into rounds and place them on the baking sheet
