Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by gathering and chilling all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar until well blended.
- Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the Earl Grey tea and lemon zest until evenly distributed, then gently fold in the blackberries.
- Gradually pour in the buttermilk while stirring gently until a cohesive dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick, then cut into triangles or rounds.
- Arrange the shaped scones on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for about 20 minutes.
- Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Once baked, cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes and prepare the lemon glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones before serving.
