-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the lemon zest and poppy seeds.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and lemon juice.
-
Gradually add the cream mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together.
-
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and cut it into 8 wedges.
-
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the scones are cool, sprinkle them with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
