because i love you
(i really do)and i know how much
you love tasty breakfast treats
as much as i
i'm going to share
a keeper with you
these Lemon Poppy Seed Scones
were a huge hit
with my family last week
they're from Taste of Home magazine
but i altered them just a tad
to make 'em a little more
lemony
to make
you will need
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 ts. baking soda
1 T poppy seeds
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup cold butter
3/4 cup milk (i use evap)
2 T lemon juice
the zest of one lemon
sugar for sprinkling on top
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add milk, lemon juice and lemon zest to crumb mixture and stir just until combined. Dough will be sticky. Turn dough onto floured surface and knead gently about 6 times. Shape into ball. Press flat into an 8 inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges and place an inch apart onto greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-14 minutes until tops are lightly golden. Remove from oven and place scones on wire rack. Serve warm or cold with your favorite butter, clotted cream or lemon curd.
enjoy!
