    Preparation Steps

    1

    In lukewarm milk, mix the sugar, then crumble in the yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes, until foamy.

    2

    In a large bowl, sift the flour, add the salt, then rub in the cold butter until it resembles breadcrumbs.

    3

    Pour in the proofed yeast mixture, sour cream, and whole egg. Knead the dough until it is elastic.

    4

    Mix the whole poppy seeds into the dough, then cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

    5

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 2 cm thick, then fold it over several times to create layers.

    6

    Roll out again to 2 cm thick, then use a round cookie cutter to cut out scones. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    7

    Brush the tops with beaten egg, then sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

    8

    Let the scones cool on a wire rack, then serve fresh, or store in an airtight container.
