"These lemon poppy seed scones take only 10 minutes of prep work and 25 minutes to bake They are wonderful super with a cup of coffee or tea. Wake up to these Meyer Lemon Poppy Seed Scones slathered with cream cheese, butter, clotted cream, and some of your favorite jam or jelly. The jam flavors I would suggest are raspberry, blueberry, or strawberry, but honey can be substituted instead of jam...."
