Lemon Poppyseed Scones Recipe
- 3 cups (15 ounces) all purpose flour
- 1 cup (7 ounces) sugar
- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons fresh juice from 1 to 2 lemons
- 1/3 cup milk
- Adjust oven rack to medium position and preheat to 375u0b0F. Prepare a baking dish by lining it with foil, or using baking spray. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt, and whisk to combine. Using two butter knives or a pastry cutter, cut butter into dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
- In a separate bowl, combine egg, lemon juice and milk, and whisk to combine. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and, using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a dough forms, but take care to not over-mix.
- On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a 10- by 6 1/2-inch rectangle, then cut that rectangle into 6 equal squares; then divide each square diagonally through the center to create 12 triangular scones.
- Place scones on prepared baking dish and bake for 18 minutes, or until scones have browned.
