• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds
• 1/3 cup butter
• 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 3/4 cup milk
• sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease cookie sheet.

Mix flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and poppy seed in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is fine crumbs. Mix lemon juice and milk, stir into flour mixture until dough forms a ball.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface, gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly 10 times. Roll or pat into a 9-inch circle. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut into 8 wedges.

Place on cookie sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet.

Note: The first time I made them, they didn't taste lemony enough, so I tweaked the recipe. I used 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/2 cup milk, instead of 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice and 3/4 cup milk.
