​Tips and variations for making this lemon poppy seed scone recipe:

● These can be made keto-friendly. Change the granulated white sugar and the confectioners’ sugar in the glaze to a low-carb powdered sweeter such as Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered Sweetener.
● Make certain you are using cold butter.
● Do not over-handle your dough. You do not want it to be tough.
● For my UK and Australian friends: confectioners’ sugar is icing sugar (powdered sugar, 10x).
● The combination of almond flour and coconut flour gives great texture and moistness.
● In the United States, ½ cup butter = 1 stick, 1 cup = 2 sticks
● How to make vanilla extract.
● 1 medium lemon should produce enough fresh lemon zest to equal one tablespoon.
● 1 medium lemon should produce enough fresh lemon juice to equal ¼ cup.
● To make your simple lemon glaze even zippier, add a dash of lemon extract.
● You do not need a food processor or stand mixer to make this recipe.
● Keep the leftover scones in an airtight container in the fridge. To refresh the scones, wrap the cold scone in a damp paper towel and microwave it for 20 to 45 seconds, depending on the power of the microwave.
● This recipe is made with simple ingredients commonly found at your local grocery store.
