Yield Makes 6 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar, plus more for tops
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Zest of 1 lemon
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 1/4 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar into a large bowl. Stir in poppy seeds and lemon zest.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, butter, and buttermilk.
  • Pour liquid into dry ingredients, and combine with a few swift strokes. Turnout dough onto a lightly floured board and knead once or twice. Pat out to 3/4 inch thick; cut into rounds using a 3-inch cutter. Reroll scraps and cut again until used up.
  • Place scones a few inches apart on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar and bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
