My recipe for Lady Grey Scones:
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour/plain flour
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar/caster sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda/bicarbonate of soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 teabags Lady Grey Tea (contents of 1 teabag=1 teaspoon)
zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup (118 ml) buttermilk (milk or cream can be used)
6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted cold butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Lemon Glaze:
1 cup (130 g) powdered sugar/icing sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons milk

Making the Scones:
Preheat oven to 350* F / 180* C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Into a large bowl, measure out the flour, sugar, baking soda/bicarb and salt. Cut open the Lady Grey teabags and add dry contents of the bags to the flour mixture. Mix well to combine.

In a small bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk and vanilla.
Add the butter to the flour mixture and incorporate it into the flour mixture, until the result is roughly pea-sized crumbs. (Just use hands, or a couple of forks, working the butter into the flour-mix.)

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix to combine until a soft dough forms. On a floured surface, turn out the dough, and work it into a round ball. Then pat dough out into an 8-inch/20 cm circle. Cut dough to make 8 triangles using a sharp knife. Transfer the scones to the parchment-lined baking tray, leaving space between each piece.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Let scones rest and transfer them to a cooling rack.

Glaze:
In a small bowl mix together the powdered/icing sugar, lemon juice and milk, until smooth and a drizzle/pourable glaze forms. Add more milk if necessary. Drizzle over the cooled scones before serving.
