step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
step 2
Sift the flour (225 g) and baking powder (1 tsp) together into a large bowl. Rub the butter (50 g) into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then stir in the sugar (25 g), lemon juice (1) and poppy seeds (2 tsp).
step 3
In a jug, stir the lemon juice into the milk (125 ml). Make a well in the flour-butter mixture and pour in the milk, then mix until a dough starts to come together. Use your hands to lightly knead it into a ball.
step 4
Press or roll the dough to 2.5cm thickness and use a 5cm round cutter to cut out the scones. Arrange on a buttered baking tray, brush the tops with a little milk, and sprinkle with caster sugar.
step 5
Bake for 10-12 minutes until risen and golden. Serve with jam, clotted cream (to taste) and tea.
