Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sift or whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, poppyseeds, and kosher salt in a mixing bowl.
- In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar and lemon zest, rubbing them together to release the oils.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the lemon-sugar mixture until fully combined.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Whisk together kefir, egg, and lemon juice in another bowl until frothy, then combine with the dry mixture.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- If sticky, fold and pat down, then chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a 6-inch circle and chill again for 10 minutes.
- Cut the circle into eight wedges and place them on the baking sheet, brushing tops with kefir and sprinkling with raw sugar.
- Bake for 22-26 minutes until golden and firm to the touch, enjoying the lemon aroma.
- Cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice and drizzle over cooled scones.
