Lemon Poppyseed Scones (topped with lemon glaze) are a delicious breakfast treat or snack. They're easy to make, and I know you'll love them!
Preheat oven to 375℉.
Place flour, sugar, poppyseeds, baking powder, lemon zest and salt in food processor. Process only until combined. Cut COLD butter into small chunks; add them to flour mixture. Pulse until butter is reduced to the size of peas. Add egg and lemon juice. Process until moist clumps form, then add milk.
Continue processing dough until it comes together in a ball (it'll be "tacky" or sticky). Transfer dough to a floured work surface; sprinkle dough with a bit of flour. Knead dough until it comes together in a cohesive ball.
Shape and slightly flatten dough into a circle measuring 8" across. Slice into 8 pie-shaped wedges. Transfer scones to an ungreased baking sheet. Position scones in a circle shape, leaving ½ inch space between each one. Use a pastry brush to brush milk on top of each scone. Sprinkle tops with remaining sugar, distributing evenly between all 8 scones.
Bake at 375°F. for 22-25 minutes. Oven temps can vary, so check on them first at the 22-minute mark.
When done, scones should be light golden brown in color. Insert a tester (I use a toothpick!) into the middle of a scone. It should come out clean/free of batter. Remove scones from oven; let them rest 5 minutes, then carefully slice the 8 scones apart. Place the separated scones on a wire rack; let them cool completely. TIP: Put a piece of plastic, foil, or wax paper under the rack to catch drips that might occur while glazing them.
While scones cool, make the glaze. Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir well until lump-free and thin enough to brush on the scones. If too thick, add a bit more juice. Too thin? Add a bit more powdered sugar! Brush glaze on top of the cooled scones all the way to the edges. Let scones rest until the glaze hardens, then serve and enjoy!
