Lemon Poppy Seed Scones Recipe

I love Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins and now I can add this Lemon Poppy Seed Scones recipe to the list!

Lemony and packed with poppy seeds, I am in love! Fortunately, so are the kids and hubs. I prefer that touch of sweetness. These are excellent with a cup of hot coffee.

This is will surely become one of my go to scones recipes. It’s delicious and easy. From Country Living!

Prep Time: 12 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Total Time: 22 minutes

Yield: 8 Scones

Serving Size: 1 Scone

From Country Living.

Ingredients

• 2 Cups Flour
• 3 Tablespoons Sugar
• 2 Tablespoons Poppy Seeds
• 2 large Lemons, zested (I subbed in 2 Tablespoons Lemon Peel)
• 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 Tablespoon Salt
• 1 Stick Cold Butter, Chunked
• 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream (I used Milk)
• 1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
• 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice, for glaze
• 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions

1. 400* Oven.
2. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.
3. Cut in butter.
4. Pour in Heavy Cream (or Milk) and the 1/4 Cup Lemon Juice.
5. Stir just until combined.
6. I mix these up on a floured cutting board, shaping into an 8" circle. Using a pizza cutter, slice into 8 wedges and slightly separate them on a parchment lined sheet.
7. Bake 12 -- 15 minutes or until light golden brown.
8. Transfer to wire rack and let cool.
9. Combine glaze ingredients and top on cooled scones.

Notes

I subbed in Milk for the Heavy Cream with great results.
