Servings 8
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 large lemons
- 1 stick cold unsalted butter
- 1/2 c. heavy cream
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, poppy seeds, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles cornmeal.
- Pour in heavy cream, then add 1/4 cup lemon juice. Don't over stir, just mix until dough is formed.
- Gather dough together with your hands and gently press into a ball. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet and shape into an 8-inch disk. Cut into 8 wedges and separate so scones are about 1 inch apart.
- Bake about 13-15 minutes. Scones will be golden and a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean. Cool on a wire rack for about twenty minutes before serving.
