Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or dust with flour.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, earl grey tea, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Using a pastry blender, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir swiftly with a fork until the dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough into a rectangle (about 9" x 6").
Trim the edges to straighten, then cut the rectangle into three equal pieces.
Slice each piece into two squares and cut each square diagonally into four triangles.
Move the triangles to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden.
Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, consider adding lemon zest to the dough.
Store any leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
These scones pair wonderfully with clotted cream and jam.
