This is the best scone I have ever had!- me

Ingredients:

Scones:

• 2 cups all purpose flour

• 1/2 cup white sugar

• 1/4 cup poppy seeds

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• 1 tsp salt

• 6 tbsps cold butter (preferably frozen)

• 2 eggs, beaten

• 1/2 cup greek yogurt

• 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

• 3 tbsp lemon zest

• 2 tbsp heavy cream

Glaze:

• 1 cup confectioners sugar

• 2 tbsp melted butter

• 1/4 cup lemon juice

• 1 tsp lemon zest

• 2 tbsp poppy seeds (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Grate the butter.

3. Mix together your dry ingredients (including lemon zest) and grated butter until your mixture looks like coarse meal.

4. Add in wet ingredients (except cream) and stir to combine. If dough is too wet gradually add in a few tbsps of flour, if dough is too dry add in more yogurt.

5. On a lightly floured surface, pack crumbs together and roll out the dough to be roughly 1.5 inches high. Cut 8 wedges like it's a pizza. If you want your scones to be smaller, make 2 smaller circles of dough, and cut them each into 6 wedges.

6. Place on your prepared baking sheet, brush with cream, and bake for 15-23 minutes.

7. While baking, prepare your glaze. Mix together all glaze ingredients to make a smooth and glossy glaze. It should not be very thick or thin.

8. When cooled, use a spoon to pour glaze all over the scones.

9. Wait 15 minutes for the glaze to settle in, and enjoy!
