Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Scones Recipes

VEGAN LEMON POPPY SEED SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Combine all dry ingredients, including poppy seeds and lemon zest.
• Add the chilled coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Use your hands to cut the coconut oil into the dry ingredients. Continue working the coconut oil into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. (I find it helpful to chill my hands by rinsing them under very cold water for a minute or so. This will help you break up the coconut oil without melting it.)
• Add the soy milk and use a fork to stir the ingredients. Do NOT overmix. As soon as the mixture is just combined, turn it onto a floured kitchen counter. Knead about 8-12 times before rolling out on a well-floured counter. The dough should be about 1" thick. Cut into rustic triangles (about the size of a deck of cards.)
• Transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet (leaving at least 1/2" between scones) and bake for 10 minutes. They should be golden brown.
• Cool before glazing.
• Combine the warm soy milk, coconut oil, lemon juice, icing sugar, and lemon zest. Whisk until combined. Add more soy milk for a thinner glaze (good for dunking the entire scone), add more icing sugar for a thicker glaze (great for drizzling). Once the scones are cooled, drizzle or dunk in glaze. Enjoy!

VEGAN LEMON POPPY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Cut in margarine until the mixture is the consistency of large grains of sand. I like to use my hands to rub the margarine into the flour. Stir in poppy seeds, lemon zest and lemon juice. Combine the soy milk and water, and gradually stir into the dry ingredients until the batter is moistened, but still thick like biscuit dough. You may not need all of the liquid.
• Spoon 1/4 cup sized plops of batter onto the greased baking sheet so they are about 3 inches apart.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes the preheated oven, until golden.

Steps:

• Soak poppy seeds in milk and store in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
• Preheat the oven to 375ºF/180ºC degrees.
• In a food processor, mix flours, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Add small chunks of chilled butter and mix.
• Beat an egg in a small bowl and add a half of the egg as well as the milk with poppy seeds, lemon zest and lemon juice.
• Mix until the dough comes together in a big lump.
• On a flat surface dusted with extra flour, gather the dough into one ball. Divide the ball into two or three depending on how small you want your scones (I divided into two).
• Flatten the dough into round disks (about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick). Cut into 6 - 8 wedges.
• Add a tiny amount of water to the remaining egg and brush the egg wash on top of the scones.
• Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack. Infuse love and serve (with lemon curd/jam and/or whipped cream if you wish)!
