Equipment

  • large baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 1 cup organic unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup organic light spelt flour
  • 1/3 cup raw fine sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
  • 2 tsp poppy seed
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat to 400°F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and poppy seed.  
  • Cut or grate cold butter into the flour mixture with a fork, pastry blender or grater.
  • In a small bowl, whisk yogurt, egg, lemon juice and lemon zest.
  • Mix in the yogurt lemon mixture into the dry ingredients until combined and moist. Avoid over mixing.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently gather the dough together to form a ball. If the dough is too sticky, add a little bit of flour to your hands.
