Yes, mine really aren't like the traditional, crumbly and dense variety. I love this recipe. It's from The Joy of Vegan Baking. One trick to lighter, flakier scones is leaving some pea-sized bits when you cut in the butter with the flour. Also, working the dough too much can lead to a tougher, heavier scone.
Now I think I know why I didn't care for scones! Mine don't look like that- more dense, less fluff.
