Earl Grey scones from Sift: The Elements of Great Baking (page 180) by Nicola Lamb

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Raspberry rhubarb jam; Stewed plums

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Definitely makes more than 6! I think I got about 10 from this recipe

    Very fluffy indeed! I usually make Mary Berry's scone recipe and this is way fluffier. The amount of salt in this recipe is too much for me (I weighed it using a micro-scale). The seconde time I added in a pinch on feel and it was better.

    crumbly, buttery, and moist, with great earl grey flavor! also super easy to make

    This recipe didn't seem to turn out right for me. Not as light as my usual scone recipe

    Trusted her head note and made sure to adequately work the dough. Formed and chilled two days in advance for an easy Thanksgiving breakfast. Shockingly fluffy and delicious.
