How to Make Sugar And Spice Glazed Lemon Tea Scones
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a large baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, sift together 225g self-raising flour, 50g caster sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp cream of tartar, 1 tsp mixed spice (see note below), and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Add the zest of 1 lemon and gently mix with your fingertips.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Add 50g cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, 100ml cold heavy cream, and 1 large egg, lightly beaten.
- Using a knife, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Gently stir with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 3-4 times to form a ball.
- Flatten the dough to 1 inch thickness and use a 2-inch round cutter to cut out 8 scones.
- Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Brush the tops lightly with extra cream.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- While scones cool, prepare the glaze: Whisk together 50g icing sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and a pinch of mixed spice until smooth. Add more lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once scones have cooled for another 5-10 minutes, drizzle generously with the lemon glaze.
- Serve warm with butter, clotted cream, or lemon curd.
