Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl combine the all purpose flour , granulated sugar, baking powder , and salt . Give it a good whisk. Cut in the cold cubed butter with a pastry blender , fork, or your hands until it resembles course crumbs. Add the milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice and poppyseeds. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
Using your hands press the dough into a rough ball and place on prepared baking sheet.
Fold the dough a few times until it has all come together, then form into an 8 inch circle about 1 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 even triangles with a dough cutter, pizza cutter or knife, and then arrange on baking sheet 2 inches apart from each other.
Bake scones on center rack for 14-16 minutes until bottoms are golden brown and sides look set. Let cool on pan or wire rack before glazing.
