Recipe Details
Servings: 8 scones
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 18-20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

For the Scones:

  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp loose Earl Grey tea leaves (or contents of 2 tea bags, finely ground)
  • 6 tbsp (85g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) fresh raspberries (or frozen, unthawed)

For the Lemon Glaze (Optional):

  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp (15-30ml) fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground Earl Grey tea leaves.
  3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour into the dry mixture and stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
  5. Add Raspberries: Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much (some breakage is okay for pretty streaks).
  6. Shape and Cut: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch-thick circle (about 8 inches wide). Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with extra cream.
  7. Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the scones are set. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. Glaze (Optional): Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled scones for a zesty finish.


And there you have it—Earl Grey Raspberry Scones that bring a touch of elegance to your table with every tender, tea-scented bite. The delicate aroma of Earl Grey paired with those bursts of raspberry makes these scones a quiet luxury, whether you savoured them warm from the oven or saved a few for an afternoon treat. They’re perfect as-is, but feel free to slather on some clotted cream, pair them with your favourite jam, or tweak the tea for a new twist. You’ve just baked a little magic—enjoy it, and maybe share the secret (or not)!
