Making Earl Grey Blackberry Scones with Lemon Glaze is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Tea: If using loose leaves, steep the Earl Grey tea in the milk over low heat. Let it cool slightly before using.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Add Blackberries: Gently fold in the fresh blackberries, taking care not to mash them.
6. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the steeped milk mixture, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
7. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
8. Shape the Scones: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into wedges or use a round cutter to shape.
9. Bake Scones: Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Cool the Scones: Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
11. Prepare the Glaze: While the scones are cooling, mix the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth.
12. Drizzle the Glaze: Once the scones are cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over them and let it set before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll find that the process is quick and enjoyable, resulting in beautiful, delicious scones each time.
