- Lemon Almond Poppy Seed Scone Sticks
- Scones1 cup all-purpose flour1 cup white whole wheat flour1/4 cup sugar2 tablespoons brown sugar1 tablespoon baking powder4 teaspoons poppy seedsScant 1/2 teaspoon salt1 large egg1/2 cup buttermilk, plus extra to brush the dough2 tablespoons lemon zest2 teaspoons almond extract1 teaspoon vanilla1 stick cold butter, dicedGlaze1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted3 tablespoons vanilla flavored coffee creamerAdd all dry ingredients to your KitchenAid Stand Mixer with the paddle attachment and mix on the "stir" (lowest) setting until well combined.In a separate bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk, zest, almond extract and vanilla. Whisk lightly and set mixture aside.Add cold, diced butter to the stand mixer and mix on the lowest setting for approximately 60-90 seconds. The butter should start to break into smaller pieces but not fully combine with the flour. Do not overmix!Stream the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while the mixer is on low ("stir") until a dough forms. This should take about 5-10 seconds of mixing.Turn off mixer, using a spatula, fold any remaining flour to the top and mix for a few more seconds. Do not overmix.Turn dough onto a well-floured surface and gently knead into a ball. If the dough feels overly sticky before kneading, heavily sprinkle with flour before kneading. Split into two even pieces and place one in a bowl in the fridge.Gently roll out or shape the dough with your hands into a rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. The rectangle should be approximately 4"x8". You will see pieces of butter in the dough and this is what you want - it will make your scones flaky and delicious.Cut rectangle into even slices and place on a parchment lined baking sheet with about 1/2 inch or so spacing between them. Repeat preparation steps with the remaining, refrigerated dough.Place scones on the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes.Preheat oven to 400 degrees.Lightly brush scones with buttermilk and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are a deep golden brown and the tops are light golden.Let cool for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack and let completely cool.Drizzle on 1 - 1 1/2 teaspoons glaze over each cooled scone. Top with extra poppy seeds if desired.For the GlazeStir ingredients together until well combined. Mixture should be pourable but not too thick or too thin.
