We love going to tea!
We’ve really enjoyed tea parties at Barbara’s Victorian Tea House (http://www.barbarasvictorianteahouse.com/) for one of my Gram’s birthdays and The Huntington’s Rose Garden Tea Room (https://huntington.org/tea-room) for one of my husband’s birthdays – yes, at his request!
We want to be able to have our own at home for special gatherings, so I’ve started to experiment with tea related recipes.
The Clotted Cream, Lemon Curd , Raspberry Jam, and these English Scones are de-licious! And WAY easier that you may think!!!
Now it’s time to master tea sandwiches…
English Scones Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups (+ more for rolling out) all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten (cold)
- 1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cold)
- 3 Tbsp water (cold)
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt
- 1 small pinch cream of tartar
Directions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Over a large bowl, sift together 2 cups flour, 2 Tbsp sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 small pinch cream of tartar.
- Grate 1/4 cup cold butter into the dry mixture, tossing as you go to prevent clumping. My grater was in the dishwasher so I actually used a zesting tool. 😊
- Gently hand-mix the butter into the flour until you have more rough textured blend.
- In a medium bowl, beat 1 cold egg.
- Add 1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp cream and 3 Tbsp water, then mix together.
- Set aside 2 Tbsp of egg mixture in a small bowl – this is your egg wash.
- Slowly add the cream mixture into the well, moving continuously, and until all added and just combined.
- Transfer dough to a floured surface and roll out to about 3/4” (err on the side of more if needed). I want thicker…
- Cut into desired shapes. My husband likes them in 8 kind of large rectangles and this recipe should give you 8 of those. A circle will allow for traditional triangles.
- Transfer scones to baking sheet and brush tops with egg wash until just favor in top. Too much will prevent rising.
- Chill in fridge for 10 mins.
- While scones are chilling, preheat oven to 375◦ F.
- Bake for 25 mins, until golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
- Store in airtight container at room temp for 1-2 days or in fridge for up to 1 week.
