What are scones?
A scone is a quick bread that is shaped into a triangular shape. It is classified as a quick bread since you are using baking soda and baking powder as your leveling agent instead of a yeast.
The texture of a scone is very similar to a biscuit. They are often sweet in flavor, whereas a biscuit doesn’t use sugar as an ingredient.
Tips When Making Scones
When it comes to making scones there are a few tips we want to share so that you get the perfect result:
- Ensure that your milk is cold.
- DO NOT overmix. This will ensure you end up with a soft and fluffy scone.
- Once you’ve shaped your scones, chill or freeze them before baking.
- Be careful to not over bake.

- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Zest
- 2 Tbsp Poppy Seeds
- 1/3 Cup Whole Milk

How to Make Poppy Seed Meyer Lemon Scones
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, lemon zest and poppy seeds in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine milk, lemon juice, vanilla extract, honey and O California Meyer Lemon Olive Oil.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until the mixture just comes together and forms a dough.
On a floured surface, shape the dough into a round disk about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 4 to 6 triangles depending on the size you want. Place scones on a lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for 10 to 12 minutes to firm.
Once the dough has firmed up, brush the top of each scone with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 16 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before drizzling the lemon glaze over the top before serving.
How to Make Lemon Glaze
Whisk glaze ingredients together until smooth.
Place scones on a cooling rack over parchment paper or paper towels to catch drips. Drizzle glaze over cooled scones and allow to set.
