-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the lemon zest and poppy seeds.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
-
Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (5 cm) thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
-
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack before serving.
