    Source of Recipe


    Bev 3/21/2002

    List of Ingredients




    3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup sugar (used 3/4 cup)
    1 tablespoon sugar
    3 tablespoons poppy seeds
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
    1 teaspoon salt
    10 tablespoons unsalted butter chilled and cut into small pieces
    1 large egg
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    1/3 cup whole milk

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Position rack in top third of oven. Mix flour, 1 cup sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, lemon peel and salt in food processor. Add butter and cut in, using on/off turns, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk egg, and lemon juice in medium bowl to blend. Add flour mixture. Using on/off turns, process until moist clumps form. Add 1/3 cup milk. Using on/off turns, process just until dough comes together, adding more milk if dough seems dry. Using floured hands, gather dough into ball. Flatten to 8" round. Cut round into 8 wedges. Transfer scones to large baking sheet; brush with milk. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tbs sugar. Bake until scones are golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool. Makes 8 scones

    NOTES:

    Bev's Notes: This recipe came from a restaurant in New Milford, CT. So easy and delicious with the use of a food processor! Can be made one day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

    Lynda's notes - 5/12/02: Incredible texture AND flavor! Not at all dry like some scones tend to get. I only made a few minor changes......used light butter that was salted & cut the salt to 1/2 tsp. only 3/4 cup sugar and replaced whole milk with skim. They reheat well -- use a low temp (250° - 300°) for about 10 minutes. I wouldn't recommend using the microwave though.
