Equipment
- 9×11 Baking sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 2 cup flours
- ¼ cup white granulated sugar
- ⅛ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- 2 tbsp poppy seeds
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping before oven:
- Extra Tablespoon of butter melted
- Extra white sugar
Frosting:
- Lemon glaze
Instructions
- Prep a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, baking soda, and baking powder in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk until the dry ingredients are combined.
- Add in the cubed butter and use clean hands to squeeze the butter and dry ingredients together to create a crumbly mixture.
- Mix in the poppy seeds.
- Add in the egg, lemon juice, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix together until a dough forms.
- On a clean, flat surface, transfer the dough to it and form a round of the dough to about a 10×10 inch disc. Cut the dough into six equal pieces. If the dough seems a bit sticky before cutting, add about a ¼-½ cup more of more flour to the dough.
- Transfer these six pieces to the prepared parchment covered baking sheet.
- Take the tablespoon of butter thats melted and brush each scone with it and sprinkle some white sugar on top.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops of the scones are slightly browned.
- Top the scones with a lemon glaze of your choice and finish with lemon zest for garnish.
Notes
The best and easiest way to store your scones is to place in a tightly sealed container at room temperature.
