LEMON POPPY SEED SCONES



Lemon Poppy Seed Scones image

The method for making these scones is very simple but can be a little scary for a novice baker, since the dough starts off in such rough shape. If you're able to wrestle it all together on the table, verses mixing into a dough ball in the bowl, you'll be rewarded with a much tenderer scone. But even a slightly tough one, painted with a fruity fresh strawberry glaze, will be a winner at any special-occasion brunch or teatime.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ¾ cups self-rising flour
1 stick very cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest, or more to taste
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
⅓ cup whole milk, or more as needed
3 strawberries, or more to taste
1 cup powdered sugar, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place self-rising flour in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add poppy seeds, sugar, and lemon zest; mix to combine. Make a well in the center and pour in egg, lemon juice, and milk. Mix with a fork until dough starts to come together. Scoop up with one hand until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Pour dough out onto your work surface. Use your hands and a bench scraper to gather and press dough into a neat rectangle about 1- to 1-1/2-inches tall. Cut into 4 squares and then diagonally into 8 triangles. Space scones evenly onto a silicone-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Mash strawberries finely to resemble a puree. Whisk in powdered sugar in batches to make a thick, spreadable glaze. Spread glaze over the cooled scones. Let scones cool on the rack until glaze hardens, about 20 minutes.

STUFFED LEMON-POPPY SEED SCONES



Stuffed Lemon-Poppy Seed Scones image

Cake flour is clutch in this recipe for creating a perfectly balanced fluffy, crumbly and moist scone texture. Soaking the poppy seeds in warm milk softens them a bit and helps release their nutty flavor when baked. To prevent the curd leaking out during baking, take care to really pinch and seal the two disks of dough together all around the edges.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup whole milk, plus more for brushing
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
2 1/4 cups cake flour, plus more for dusting
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 Earl Grey tea bag, leaves removed and finely crushed (about 1 1/2 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg
1/4 cup lemon curd
Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Heat the milk in a small saucepan or warm in the microwave until steaming. Remove from the heat and stir in the poppy seeds. Let stand until cooled, about 20 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice to thicken and sour the milk.
  • Whisk the cake flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, tea and salt in a medium bowl; work in the cold butter and lemon zest with your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Make a well in the center, then add the egg and milk-poppy seed mixture. Stir together until combined and a soft dough forms, gently kneading the dough in the bowl once stirring becomes difficult.
  • Divide the dough in half and gently pat each portion into a 6- to 7-inch disk (1/4 to 1/2 inch thick), lightly dusting the dough and your fingers with flour if the dough is too sticky. Transfer one disk of dough to a baking sheet and spread the lemon curd on top, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Place the remaining disk of dough on top of the curd and pinch the edges together to seal. Brush the top with milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Score the dough into 8 wedges, cutting about halfway into the top layer of dough but not into the filling.
  • Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 5 to 10 minutes on the baking sheet. Slide off the baking sheet and onto the rack; let cool at least 45 more minutes. Cut into wedges along the scored lines.
