Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Cut the chilled butter into cubes and mix into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Brew a strong cup of Earl Grey tea, allowing it to cool, then mix with buttermilk.
  5. Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixture; stir gently until combined.
  6. Fold in the blackberries and lemon zest gently to avoid crushing the berries.
  7. Form the dough into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap; chill in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  8. Once chilled, pat the dough into a circle again and cut it into wedges or use a round cutter.
  9. Bake the scones for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  10. Cool the scones slightly, then drizzle with the lemon glaze before serving.
