These scones are lovely when cut into wedges and draped with lemon curd. I often mix up the batter the night before and pop them into the oven the next morning to bake up fresh and golden brown.—Shannon Koene, Blacksburg, Virginia

Poppy Seed-Filled Scones with Lemon Curd Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + chilling Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 16 Servings

25 15 40

Ingredients

3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
1/4 cup butter, cubed
SCONES:
3-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup poppy seeds
1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold butter
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons orange juice
1 egg
1 egg, separated
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 can (12-1/2 ounces) poppy seed cake and pastry filling
1 teaspoon water

Directions

In a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisk the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and peel until blended. Add butter; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Transfer to a small bowl; cool for 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
For scones, in a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, cream of tarter, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk the orange juice, egg, egg yolk and orange peel; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times.
Divide dough into four portions. Pat each portion into a 7-in. circle. Spread poppy seed filling over two circles. Top with remaining circles; pinch edges to seal.
Transfer to two greased baking sheets. Combine egg white and water; brush over scones. Cut each into eight wedges, but do not separate. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with lemon curd. Yield: 16 scones (1-1/2 cups lemon curd).

To Make Ahead: Lemon curd can be made up to 1 week in advance; cover and store in the refrigerator.
