Mix together all of your dry ingredients – flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda.
Grate (or cut) your cold butter into the flour mixture. You can either cut your butter into small chunks and then work it in with your fingers, use a cheese grater to shred it into the flour, or use a pastry cutter.
Add the sugar and lemon zest to the bowl and mix.
Add sourdough discard, yogurt, lemon juice and poppy seeds to the bowl and mix together until all of the ingredients are just combined.
Transfer the crumbly mixture to a clean workspace and finish working the dough together with your hands. Pat the dough into a round disc about 1-inch thick. Use a sharp knife or a pastry cutter to cut into wedges for even baking.
Transfer to a round cast iron pan or a baking sheet and brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream and a sprinkle of sugar.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
OPTIONAL: while your oven is preheating, place your scones into the freezer just to ensure the dough is chilled and the butter remains COLD.
Bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy!
