Are you a lover of scones like me? I do enjoy ordering a scone when visiting a coffee shop to go along with my coffee or tea. Honestly, sometimes they’re really tender and delicious, and sometimes they taste a bit like cardboard. These lemon poppy seed scones are simple, tender and delicious. They’re nothing like cardboard, I promise. They’re a great recipe to make end enjoy on the weekend, and then you’re able to eat them into the beginning of the week too.

How to make Lemon Poppy Seed Scones:
The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.
Let the lemon poppy seed scones cool for a few minutes, and then sift powdered sugar on top of the warm scones.
Alternative: top the scones with a lemon glaze instead:
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the baked scones and give that glaze time to set before serving.
Eat these lemon poppy seeds scones for breakfast (they’re a great grab-and-go choice) or nibble on scones for an afternoon snack. They’re good any time of day. Enjoy!
