Heritage Lemon Poppy Seed Scone Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 package of Heritage Scone Mix
  • 8 Tbsp frozen butter grated
  • 2 Tbsp poppy seeds
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 egg
  • Zest from ½ half lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Extra milk if needed

Glaze:

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Directions

  1. Add the Sunrise Flour Mill Scone Mix to a large bowl. Using a box grater, grate the frozen butter directly into the mix. Combine with a fork until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. Break up any large clumps.

  2. Mix in poppy seeds.

  3. In a separate bowl- whisk together lemon juice, milk, egg, lemon zest and vanilla

  4. Drizzle over the flour mixture, then mix with the fork until it all comes together.

  5. Scoop dough onto a lightly floured counter and, with floured hands, knead the dough into a ball. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it seems too dry, sprinkle with one more Tablespoon of milk. Don’t overwork the dough. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  6. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400F. Set rack in the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  7. Triangle Scones: Pat out to a 7-inch circle and cut into 8 wedges. Place scones 2-3in apart on the parchment lined sheet.

  8. Round Scones: Pat dough into a 6 inch circle, at least 1 inch high. Use a 3 inch biscuit cutter for 6+ scones (Tip: flour the cutter each time to prevent sticking). Space scones 2-3 inches apart on the parchment lined sheet.

  9. Bake until golden brown- about 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  10. While scones are cooling- prepare the glaze. Mix all the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl.

  11. Once the scones have cooled- pour the glaze over the top of the scones. Enjoy!


Why Heritage Wheat?

Most flour is milled from modern conventional wheat varieties developed specifically for increased yield. Heritage wheat is what came before them, and it behaves like a different ingredient.

  • Older wheat

    Turkey Red and White Sonora are pre-1950s varieties, not the modern varieties most flour is milled from. Many find heritage wheat easier to digest.

  • Milled in small batches

    Milled in Minnesota and shipped within days, with the milling date printed on every bag.

  • Nothing added

    Certified organic and non-GMO, grown without glyphosate, never bleached or bromated.
