Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cups sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 0.25 cups poppy seeds
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in the sour cream, lemon zest, and poppy seeds until just combined.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, gently knead it a few times, then pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
  • Cut the dough into wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

These scones are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
