Recipe type: Breakfast Pastry
Cuisine: British
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 2 T Granulated Sugar
  • 1 T of your favorite loose leaf Earl Grey Tea
  • ¼ cup Butter
  • ½ cup Milk or milk alternative (I used almond milk)
  • ½ cup Powdered Sugar
  • ½ T Milk or milk alternative
  • Dash of Vanilla Bean Paste (or extract)
  • Zest of 1-2 Lemons (mine were pretty small so I used 2)
Preparation Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, sugar, and tea.
  3. Next up add in ¼ cup of cold butter diced into cubes and cut it in the flour mixture. I like to use a pastry fork to help me with this. (Just don't use your hands and you'll be great.)
  4. Then add the milk to the dough and knead it with your hands. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and continue to knead until the dough comes together. (Don't worry, it will!)
  5. Shape the dough into a large disc (about 6½ to 7 inches in diameter). Then slice it into 6 pieces. Bake the scones on a lined baking sheet for 15-18 minutes or until the tops of the scones turn a light brown.
  6. Whip up the glaze by whisking together the ½ cup of powdered sugar, ½ tablespoon of milk, a little bit of vanilla extract, and the zest of 1-2 lemons depending on how large your lemons are.
  7. Once your scones are totally cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and enjoy!
