Instructions
Adjust oven rack to medium position and preheat to 375°F. Prepare a baking dish by lining it with foil, or using baking spray. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt, and whisk to combine. Using two butter knives or a pastry cutter, cut butter into dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
In a separate bowl, combine egg, lemon juice and milk, and whisk to combine.
Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and, using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a dough forms, but take care to not over-mix.
On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a 10- by 6 1/2-inch rectangle, then cut that rectangle into 6 equal squares; then divide each square diagonally through the center to create 12 triangular scones.
Place scones on prepared baking dish and bake for 18 minutes, or until scones have browned.
