A few things to ensure a good final scone.
Baking powder, make sure it has been opened for less than 6 months. This helps make sure it rises well.
Butter: it helps if you have cold butter when you incorporate it into your flour.
Mixing dough: Do not over mix. Scones are not as refined as biscuits. This will help them be less dense.
Sticky dough: Mixing sticky dough, smear butter on your hands to keep some of the dough sticking to your hands when working with it.
