Earl Grey and Lavender Scones
Ingredients
Scones
- 3 tea bags Earl Grey
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup frozen unslated butter
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Glaze
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tea bags Earl Grey/ 2 tbsp loose leaf Earl Grey
- 1 1/2 tsp culinary lavender, plus extra for garnishing
Instructions
Scones
- Preheat oven to 400 F
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Open the 3 Earl Grey tea bags and empty the contents into the flour mixture and whisk to combine.
- Grate the frozen butter and incorporate it to the flour mixture ideally using a pastry cutter until incorporated and the mixture has a texture of fine crumbs. If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use your hands but work quickly so the butter doesn't get too warm.
- On a separate bowl, mix the cream, egg and vanilla. Pour over dry ingredients and mix together until completely combined.
- Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into an 8-inch disc. Slice into 8 wedges like a pizza.
- Place scones on a silicone-lined baking sheet and bake for 18-22 minutes, until scones are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Glaze
- Bring milk and lavender to a simmer and steep the Earl Grey for 7 minutes.
- Strain the milk and pour 1/4 cup in a small bowl. Whisk sugar until fully combined. Add more sugar if you like a thicker consistency.
- Drizzle over cooled scones and sprinkle with lavender.
