Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C | 430 F. Line a large tray with baking paper.
- Put the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, poppy seeds and orange zest in a large bowl and mix together.
- Add the cubed butter and rub with your fingers until mix resembles coarse sand.
- Mix the yoghurt, lemon juice and egg in a measuring jug.
- Add a third to the flour mixture and use a scraper (or spoon) to mix together gently. If the mixture is too dry add a little more yoghurt. Only use as much yoghurt as you need for the dough to hold together.
- Dust your worktop with flour and tip the scone mix onto it. Shake off any dry excess and pat the dough into a rectangle at least 4cm (1 ½ inch) high.
- Use a floured fluted cutter (mine was fairly small) to cut out the scones and place on the tray, spaced slightly apart.
- Gather the dough scraps, gently pat into shape and repeat until you have used all the dough.
- Cover the scones with cling film and rest at room temperature for half an hour (optional).
- Glaze the scones with a little egg wash and bake for 10-18 minutes (depending on their size) until risen and golden.
- Remove from the oven and cover with a damp tea towel for 10 minutes before serving. Split open and slather with butter and a little jam.
