Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or dust with flour

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, tea, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt

Using a pastry blender, cut cold butter into the flour mixture until crumbly

In a smaller bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and vanilla

Add buttermilk mixture to the dry mixture. Stir swiftly with a fork until dough comes together.

On a lightly floured surface, lightly pat dough into a rectangle, about 9" x 6"

Trim the edges of the rectangle to straighten, then cut the rectangle into three equal pieces.

Cut each piece of dough into two squares. Cut each square diagonally into four triangles. Transfer the triangles to the prepared baking sheet.

Transfer the triangles to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the center of oven 18-20 minutes until golden.
