Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • ⅔ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, poppy seeds, and lemon zest.
  3. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
  7. Let the scones cool on a wire rack before serving.
