Ingredients
- 500g plain flour
- 15g baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 100g caster sugar
- 100g diced butter
- 250ml milk
- 1 egg
- 2 Earl Grey tea bags
Method
- Sieve flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a bowl.
- Open two tea bags of Earl Grey and add to the mixture.
- Using just your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until it is no longer visible.
- Add the milk and mix well. Once it starts to come together, turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it forms a smooth, soft dough.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees /Gas Mark 6.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 2.5 cm thick and cut into rounds with a 5cm cutter. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- For the egg wash, beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the scones twice.
- Bake in the oven for approximately 15 minutes. Do not over-bake them or they will be dry.
- Serve them warm with Cornish clotted cream and a jam or conserve of your choice, we used orange marmalade!
