1/2 cup cold butter
1-2 tea bags (I used 1)
1/2 cup buttermilk

Coarse or granulated sugar
1 cup powdered sugar

Lemon zest, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350º. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda. Cut butter into cubes and using a pastry blender, two knives or your fingers, incorporated the butter until it's the size of small peas.
  • Wet the tea bag (use a second for a more pronounced tea flavor). Squeeze the tea bag into the buttermilk, being careful not to break the bag.
  • Stir the tea infused buttermilk, vanilla and lemon zest into the flour mixture until a dough forms. You do not want to over-work the dough.

LEMON DRIZZLE SCONES

We've combined two of your favourite baking recipes to create one tea party treat - zingy lemon drizzle cake and traditional English scones

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Afternoon tea

Time 32m

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

250g self-raising flour , plus a little extra for dusting
50g butter , chilled and cut in small pieces, plus extra for greasing
25g golden caster sugar
zest 2 lemons
125ml buttermilk
4 tbsp full-fat milk
3 tbsp icing sugar
zest 1 lemon , plus a little lemon juice
4 white sugar cubes, crushed, or 1 tbsp preserving sugar
clotted cream and jam, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 6 and grease a large baking tray. In a large bowl, rub the flour, 1⁄4 tsp salt and the butter together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the caster sugar and lemon zest, and stir with a cutlery knife. Mix together the buttermilk and milk. Make a well in the centre of the flour mix and add the liquid. Use your cutlery knife to combine the mixture as a soft dough, but don't overmix or the scones will be heavy.
  • Tip onto your work surface and pat the dough out to a 2.5cm thickness. Use a 7cm cookie cutter to stamp out the scones. Don't twist as you cut, as this will stop the scones rising to their full potential. Any scraps of dough can be gently pushed back together to make more scones. Place the scones on the baking tray and bake for 10-12 mins until golden, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool.
  • Mix the icing sugar with enough lemon juice to make a thick but runny icing. Drizzle over the scones, then scatter with the crushed sugar cubes and lemon zest. Leave to set for 10 mins, then enjoy with clotted cream and jam.

Categories     Scones

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup shortening
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
yellow food coloring (optional)
grated lemon zest
slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • In a big bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; cut in the butter using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in lemon zest and blend.
  • In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, and lemon juice; pour into flour mixture; mix until blended and moistened and a soft dough is formed.
  • Place dough on a floured work surface; knead 15-20 times and roll into a circle ¾-inch thick.
  • Place on baking sheet; score into 8-12 wedges with the point of a sharp knife.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown; cool slightly on wire rack; cut into wedges as marked and serve warm.
  • The glaze: in a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar and lemon juice; add in desired amount of food coloring (if using); drizzle over warm scones; sprinkle with lemon zest and almonds.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help create flaky layers in your scones.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help create a more tender crumb.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings: The scones are best served warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
