Be sure to use cold, or even frozen, butter. If you use warm butter, you won't get the light and flaky texture that makes the scones so delicious.
Don't overmix the dough or your may end up with tough scones.
Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking for flakier scones. It'll also help to keep them from spreading.
