Ingredients
-
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
For the Strawberry Glaze:
-
3 strawberries, or more to taste
-
1 cup powdered sugar, or more as needed
Directions
-
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.
Chef's Notes:
If you want to make your own self-rising flour, for every cup of regular all-purpose flour, just sift in 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon fine salt.
Usually we brush the tops of the scones with egg wash before baking, but we waive that here in light of the glaze.
