Lemon Poppy Seed Scones

Lemon Poppy Seed Scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch treat that will leave your taste buds wanting more. These scones are made with a combination of flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, lemon zest, poppy seeds, and milk. The recipe yields 8 scones, making it perfect for a small gathering or a family breakfast.
To make these scones, start by preheating your oven to 400°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the lemon zest and poppy seeds. Gradually add the milk, stirring until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake the scones for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
These Lemon Poppy Seed Scones are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy. The lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor, while the poppy seeds add a subtle crunch. The scones are light and fluffy, with a slightly crumbly texture that pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea.
