It really depends on your taste. I've been working on a scone recipe for years and have finally gotten it right. The more you knead the dough the tougher it will become. If you want fluffy/flaky scones mix the shortening into the dry ingredients with your hands-just until combined. When adding the heavy cream-again-use your hands to mix it in-just until combined. The secret-really is using cold butter right out of the refrigerater. As the dough bakes, the butter melts and creates steam-giving that flaky, fluffy tender texture.

When my grandmother made scones, their texture was usually halfway between a muffin and a buttermilk biscuit. They should definitely not be crunchy.

They aren't supposed to be heavy like the ones at Starbucks. They are more fluffy like a muffin/biscuit. I remember seeing Martha Stewart make some blueberry scones and they were fluffy and flaky.

scones should be soft and flaky, depending on the kind of bread that's used and how much yeast is in it
