2 cups flour
2½ Tbs baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3½ Tbs chilled butter, cut into small pieces
1½ Tbs poppy seeds
1½ Tbs grated lemon peel
1 large egg, lightly beaten
½ cup low fat buttermilk

2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add poppy seeds, lemon rind, egg and buttermilk; stir with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened.

3. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; pat into a 7-inch circle. Slide dough onto prepared baking sheet; cut into pie-shaped wedges, cutting to, but not through, bottom of dough. (Do not separate wedges).

4. Bake 20-23 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack; sift powdered sugar over top.

“Most scones that I make are dry and not so great. I was pleasantly surprised at how moist these were. They were best right out of the oven with a bit of powdered sugar sprinkled on top!”
