Why This Recipe Stands Out

These biscuits offer a unique twist with the fragrant notes of Earl Grey tea. The subtle citrus and bergamot flavors create a delicate and comforting treat that pairs perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee. They are both elegant and simple, making them a delightful snack for any time of day.

Cooking Pointers

- Use finely ground Earl Grey leaves or steep the tea carefully to avoid bitterness.
- Chill the dough before baking to help the biscuits keep their shape.
- Bake until the edges are just golden for a tender, crumbly texture.

Step 1

Gently heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, powdered Earl Grey tea, salt, and a pinch of nutmeg. In a separate small bowl, mix the butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Then, combine this buttery mixture with the dry ingredients, cutting it in until it looks like coarse crumbs. Slowly add the brewed tea and stir until the dough comes together into a soft ball.

Step 2

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and give it a quick knead to bring it all together. Roll it out to about half an inch thick, then use a round cutter to cut out your biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Pop them in the oven and bake until they turn a lovely golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let them cool slightly before enjoying!

Perfect Side Pairings

Enjoy these biscuits warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey. They also make a lovely accompaniment to cream cheese or lemon curd. Serve alongside your favorite hot beverage for a cozy afternoon treat.

How To Refrigerate This Dish

Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness. They will stay fresh for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed bag and thaw at room temperature before serving.
