3/4 cup heavy cream, more for brushing | |
1 chamomile tea bag | |
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour | |
1/2 cup cane sugar, plus more for sprinkling | |
1 teaspoon baking powder | |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda | |
1/2 teaspoon sea salt | |
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed | |
1 large egg, lightly beaten | |
1 teaspoon vanilla | |
1 cup fresh blueberries |
1. | Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. |
2. | In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cream and chamomile tea bag. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat and let steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Discard the tea bag and set aside the infused cream to cool. |
3. | In a large mixing bowl sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the butter. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, work in the butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbles. Add the egg, vanilla, and cooled cream. Stir just until the dough comes together. Fold in the blueberries. |
4. | Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Using your hands or a rolling pin, shape into a disk 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut into 8 even wedges. Arrange wedges on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with cream. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired. |
5. | Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Let cool for 15 minutes on a rack before serving. |
