Earl Grey Tea Scones

I was a little disappointed with these ‘Earl Grey Tea Scones’. I expected the Scone would smell amazing, but the fragrance of Earl Grey Tea was not strong. It was subtle, but still beautiful. I wondered what flavour of Icing would be good for these Scones. I chose Orange. I used 100% natural juice squeezed from fresh Orange. It was a perfect match.

Ingredient

Food ration :

12 Scones

2 bags

Earl Grey Tea *mix with 2 tablespoons Boiling Water

2 cups

Self-Raising Flour

1/4 cup

Caster Sugar

1 pinch

Salt

60 g

Cold Regular Salted Butter *cut into small cubes

1/2 cup

Icing Sugar

1 tablespoon

100% Orange Juice

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Place the content of Tea Bags in a heat-proof measuring jug, add Boiling Water and leave for 5 minutes. Add Milk up to 3/4 cup marking, and set aside.

* Step 2

Preheat the oven to 220℃. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

* Step 3

Place Self-Raising Flour, Sugar and Salt in a large bowl. Cut the Butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using fingertips, rub the Butter pieces into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

* Step 4

Add Tea Leaf & Milk mixture and stir until a sticky dough forms. Knead gently until just combined, you can add extra Flour if required, and turn out on a well floured surface.

* Step 5

Divide the dough in half. Gently flatten each dough into a 2cm thick round. Cut each round into 6 pieces.

* Step 6

Place scones on prepared tray. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden and hollow when tapped on top.

* Step 7

To apply Icing on top, the Scones need to be cool. To make Orange Icing, mix Icing Sugar and Orange Juice until smooth. Place it in a piping bag or tough plastic bag, and pipe it out on the cooled Scones.
