Flaky Scones - are these the perfect ones?

Afternoon tea is not complete unless traditional scones are on the table.  Perhaps it is due to the tall looking and full of hope appearance that scone is the treat I always look forward most in a tea set.  Most of the time, it starts off all good - full of motivation at first to slice open the scone, apply some clotted cream and jam, but as I get to half way through the scone, a bit of claggy dough may stick on the roof of my mouth.  It is only then I usually realise that scones can be disappointing and regret of filling up my tummy so quickly that I can't have any more of other sweets.   So can these be the perfect scones?
