These strawberry scones are bursting with juicy strawberries, delicious lemon zing, and poppy seeds. They're buttery and moist with crisp crumbly edges and soft flaky centers. Read through the recipe before beginning. You can skip the chilling for 15 minutes prior to baking, but I highly recommend it to prevent the scones from over-spreading.
