Description
Delicious scones infused with fragrant Earl Grey tea and juicy blackberries, topped with a tangy lemon glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Earl Grey tea leaves
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure and chill the cubed butter until very cold. Rinse and pat dry the blackberries gently.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the tea leaves and blackberries, folding gently. Add the heavy cream and vanilla, mixing until the dough just comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently. Pat into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
- For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled scones and let set.
Notes
Serve warm with tea or as a delicious dessert. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
