Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400F (200C).

Step 2

Line sheet pan with parchment paper. In a bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, poppy seeds and lemon zest. Add butter and work by hand until dough resembles a coarse meal.

Step 3

Mix the egg with the cream and lemon extract. Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour wet mixture in well. Gently mix with a fork until combined, and then grab dough with floured hands.

Step 4

Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Shape dough into a square, cut into 4 squares and then cut the squares into triangles. You will have 8 triangles.

Step 5

Brush each scone lightly with heavy cream and a sprinkle with the raw sugar.

Step 6

Pop tray in freezer for 5 mins to firm up, (or fridge for 15 mins) and then bake for 15-17 mins until golden brown.

Step 7

Serve with raspberry jam.
