Does anyone have a fail proof recipe for scones? All of mine end up like hockey pucks!?

I just make regular bread dough ,let it rise and cut pieces off the raised batter and fry in the frying pan on medium with a cover on the pan for a few minutes and then turn them over and cook the other side with the cover off. They should be nice and raised and great when cut open with er and maple syrup on them...Good Luck from spitfire
