Scone of the Week - Lemon and Poppy Seed

If you fancy trying to make a batch of your own, here is the recipe (makes 15):

Ingredients – Lemon & Poppy Seed Scones

  • 800g self raising flour
  • 160g butter
  • 400ml milk
  • 2 lemon rinds
  • 2 tbsp poppy seeds

 

Method

Start by heat your oven to 220C/425F (Gas mark 7). Rub together the flour and butter before stirring in the sugar. The milk should then be stirred in before adding the lemon rinds and poppy seeds and working the mixture into a soft dough. Lightly flour a board and turn your dough out onto the surface before kneading it lightly for 2 minutes. Roll the dough out to the desired thickness before cutting out your scones (alternatively you can shape your dough into a round before cutting it into wedges). Spray a baking sheet with vegetables and transfer your shaped dough onto it before baking for around 15 minutes (or until golden brown).
