Ingredients
1 tablespoon Stash Breakfast in Paris loose tea (remove from tea bag or use loose leaf)
2 cups water
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
5 tablespoons cubed cold unsalted butter
1 cup raisins
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 large egg
For Vanilla Glaze
¼ cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Scone Directions
Preheat oven to 425 °F. Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with baking spray or flour. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. We traced the outside of a spring-form pan and then cut a circle so the parchment paper fits perfectly.
In the work bowl of a food processor, place flour, sugar, baking powder, tea, and salt; pulse until combined. Add cold butter and pulse until mixture starts to get crumbly. Transfer the dough to a large bowl and fold in raisins and 1 cup cream, stirring until combined.
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, just until dough comes together. Press dough into prepared cake pan. Then, using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 12 wedges.
Spray baking sheet with Pam before placing wedges on top.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg and remaining 1 teaspoon cream. Brush tops of scones with egg wash and bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. (Make sure you check your scones at the 12-minute mark. If they are golden brown, they are done.)
Vanilla Bean Glaze Scones
In a small saucepan, bring sugar, ¼ cup water, and vanilla to a boil, quickly turn down heat to a simmer until it thickens slightly. Drizzle over warm scones.
