Lemon Poppy Seed Scones

Posted bybetsysbakingblogPosted inRecipes
  • Mix together:
  • 4 c. flour
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 2 T. baking powder
  • 2 T. poppy seeds
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • Shred in or pastry blend in: 3/4 c. butter, firm
  • Create a well in middle of the mix. Pour in:
  • 1 1/2 c. milk
  • 1/4 c. lemon juice

Mix well all together to form a stiff dough. Knead 3-4 times on a floured surface. Divide the dough in half. Pat each piece into a 6″ – 8″ circle. Cut into 6 or 8 pie pieces. Place on cookie sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes on the cookie sheet and then glaze. It’s good to leave on the cookie sheet to catch the glaze drippings without major mess.

  • GLAZE:
  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • 2-4 T. lemon juice
  • How thin or thick do you like your glaze? Add more lemon juice to make a thinner glaze, less lemon juice for thicker. Also, when the glaze is poured onto hot scones it thins out some! Test one to see what you like.
