Directions

scone
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine GF flour blend, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt, and lemon zest. Cut in butter until it resembles crumbly cornmeal. Mix in blueberries.
Step 3
In a separate bowl combine buttermilk and vanilla.
Step 4
Gradually pour in buttermilk and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Do not over mix.

Step 5
Turn out onto a gluten-free floured surface and pat into a 9-inch round about 1 inch thick. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut the scones or cut the dough into wedges. Place the scones on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake for 10 minutes in a preheated 425 oven and then reduce oven heat to 350 and finish baking until golden and cooked through. This takes another 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a cooling rack before applying glaze.

Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with the lemon juice, adding more powdered sugar or lemon juice if necessary to get the right consistency. Stir or whisk until completely smooth. Add in one dry tea bag of Earl Grey Blend. Stir.
Step 8
One at a time, carefully dunk each cooled scone in the glaze. Transfer to parchment paper or the cooling rack. Allow the glaze to set completely, about an hour, before serving.
