Scones are one of
my favorite food. Of course, anything that falls into the bread family is one
of my favorite foods. These scones are light and delicious with a hint of
lemon. Who doesn't love lemon, especially in the winter.
Start with
self-rising flour, add sugar, poppy seeds and
butter cut up into small pieces. The butter should be as cold as
possible. Process in a food processor until the dough resembles small peas. I
also sometimes like to use a pastry blender.
Next, add lemon
zest, lemon juice and whipping cream.
Pulse until the
dough just pulls together into a ball.
On a lightly
floured board, knead dough slightly until the dough is not sticky.
Roll out until
3/4 inch thick. I use a round biscuit cutter but you can cut into pie wedges
from the circle of dough.
Brush with an egg
wash and sprinkle sugar on top.
Bake at 400
degrees for 13 to 15 minutes.
Absolutely the
perfect breakfast or afternoon snack. I love to put my feet up after a tough
day and drink a diet coke with a warm scone!!! As good as a Calgon Bubble
Bath!!!
