Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. With a pastry blender, cut in butter until crumbly. In a small bowl, combine egg, whipping cream, and almond extract. Stir into the dry mixture until moistened.
Transfer dough to lightly floured surface and knead until dough forms a smooth ball. Roll dough into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 8 triangular scones.
