Ingredients
Scones
- 2 cups unbleached flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 2 egg divided; take out about a couple teaspoons for the egg wash
- 1/3 c milk or cream
- 2 T poppy seeds
- lemon zest from 1
- 1 teaspoon water to mix with reserved egg for egg wash
Optional Glaze:
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Optional Sugar Topping
- 1-2 Tablespoons sugar coarse
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder, lemon zest, sugar, and salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture
- In a separate bowl, beat two eggs. Remove about 2 teaspoons of beaten egg and set aside to use later as an egg wash.
- Whisk the milk into the eggs, then stir or pulse the egg-milk mixture into the dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. Add additional liquid or flour if needed.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead once or twice until dough holds together. Pat into a 6 x 6-inch square about ¾ inch thick. Cut the square into 4 smaller squares, then cut on the diagonal to form triangles.
- Spray a cookie sheet with a non-stick baking spray and place scones on the sheet. Beat the reserved 2 teaspoons of egg with a teaspoon or two of water and brush the tops of the scones with the this. Top with coarse sugar if using.
- Bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes or until golden, then cool on a wire rack. If glazing, mix together glaze ingredients then drizzle onto cooled scones.
