📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the scones: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Stir in the poppy seeds. Add the butter and use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and there are no large chunks of butter.

2
Mix the heavy cream, egg, and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Add the cream mixture to the flour mixture; stir gently with a fork until combined. The dough should be crumbly, but if it’s too crumbly to work with, splash in a small amount of heavy cream.

Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and lightly press it together into a rough rectangle. Use a rolling pin to roll it into an 8-by-12-inch rectangle (use your hands to help shape it if necessary). Trim the edges with a knife. Cut the dough in half crosswise, then cut lengthwise into quarters to make 8 rectangles. Cut each rectangle in half diagonally to make 16 triangles.
4
Transfer the scones to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until just golden, 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes. Let cool for ⏱️ 15 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer the scones to a rack to cool completely.
5
For the glaze: Combine the powdered sugar, milk, lemon zest and juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir until smooth, adjusting the thickness with more powdered sugar or milk if necessary.
6
Place the rack of scones over a baking sheet to catch drips, then spread the glaze on the scones. Before the glaze sets, sprinkle the tops lightly with poppy seeds. Let the glaze set completely, about ⏱️ 1 hour.
