Lemon Poppy Seed Two-Bite Scones
Description
This recipe creates small scones combining lemon zest and juice with poppy seeds, all incorporated into a basic biscuit-like dough using heavy whipping cream for moisture. The dough's slight stickiness shapes easily into discs then triangular wedges, and baking at a high temperature yields a light browning without drying them out. The addition of a lemon glaze gives a glossy, tart, and sweet finish that complements the subtle crunch of the poppy seeds.
The scones have a tender texture that balances buttery richness with citrus brightness. They are well suited for breakfast, tea time, or a light snack. Their size makes them convenient for serving in multiples and sharing.
Ingredients
- 1 lemon $0.30, fresh
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour $0.13
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.02
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar $0.15, divided
- 2 tsp baking powder $0.08
- 2 tsp poppy seeds $0.20
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream $1.83
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Use a small-holed cheese grater or a zester to remove the zest from the lemon, then squeeze the juice into a separate bowl. You'll need about 1 tsp of zest and 1 Tbsp juice.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, baking powder, poppy seeds, and 1 tsp lemon zest. Make sure these ingredients are well combined.
- Stir the cream into the dry ingredients until a shaggy ball of dough forms. The dough will be fairly sticky. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, divide it into three pieces, and shape each piece into a disc (about 3 inches diameter). Cut each disc into six triangles.
- Arrange the cut scones on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the scones for about 15 minutes, or until they just begin to barely turn golden brown on top.
- While the scones are baking, place the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a bowl. Stir in about 1 Tbsp lemon juice, or just enough to form a thick glaze.
- When the scones have baked, remove them from the oven, let them cool, then drizzle with the prepared lemon glaze.
