Onion Poppy Seed Scones Recipes

LEMON POPPY SEED SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place self-rising flour in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add poppy seeds, sugar, and lemon zest; mix to combine. Make a well in the center and pour in egg, lemon juice, and milk. Mix with a fork until dough starts to come together. Scoop up with one hand until a shaggy dough forms.
• Pour dough out onto your work surface. Use your hands and a bench scraper to gather and press dough into a neat rectangle about 1- to 1-1/2-inches tall. Cut into 4 squares and then diagonally into 8 triangles. Space scones evenly onto a silicone-lined baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Mash strawberries finely to resemble a puree. Whisk in powdered sugar in batches to make a thick, spreadable glaze. Spread glaze over the cooled scones. Let scones cool on the rack until glaze hardens, about 20 minutes.

ONION POPPY SEED RING

Steps:

• Whisk together the yeast and 3/4 cup of bread flour. Sprinkle the yeast mixture over warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
• Combine the yeast mixture with 2 eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large mixing bowl; stir well to combine. Stir in half of the remaining bread flour until no dry spots remain. Stir in the remaining bread flour, a 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
• Line and generously grease a baking sheet. Set aside. Mix onion, poppy seeds, 1/4 teaspoon salt, all-purpose flour, and butter together in a bowl. Divide onion mixture into 2 equal portions. Set aside. Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Roll each portion into approximately 30x4 inch strips. Spoon the onion mixture down the center of each strip lengthwise. Begin pulling the edges of the dough up to wrap around the filling, pinching the edges to close securely.
• Arrange the strands side by side, seam side down. Beginning in the middle of each strand, braid the strands together by crisscrossing each side, making sure to keep the seam side down. Once both sides are braided, pinch the edges together to form a ring. Place the ring on the prepared baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Allow ring to rise until tripled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Arrange the oven rack to the lowest position. Beat 1 egg and 1 pinch of salt together in a bowl. Brush the braided ring with the egg mixture. Sprinkle with additional poppy seeds, if desired.
• Bake in preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, turning the pan around half way through so the ring browns evenly, 45 to 50 minutes.

POPPY SEED SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar into a large bowl. Stir in poppy seeds and lemon zest.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, butter, and buttermilk.
• Pour liquid into dry ingredients, and combine with a few swift strokes. Turnout dough onto a lightly floured board and knead once or twice. Pat out to 3/4 inch thick; cut into rounds using a 3-inch cutter. Reroll scraps and cut again until used up.

SEEDED SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly butter a large baking sheet and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, aniseed and poppy seed. Cut the butter into chunks and place in the bowl. Using a pastry blender or two butter knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Pour about a third of the buttermilk into the flour and toss lightly with a fork, pushing the mixture against the side of the bowl. Add more buttermilk and toss together, using just enough to make a soft but not sticky dough.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat gently into a square a half-inch thick and about nine inches to the side. Cut into six triangles.
• Place the scones on the baking sheet and brush with buttermilk. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve immediately, preferably with butter.
