1/4 cup granulated sugar |
4 teaspoons baking powder |

1/4 cup margarine |
1 egg |
2/3 cup milk |
1 tablespoon poppy seed |
1 tablespoon lemon zest |

Directions:

2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

5. Make a well in the center of the ingredients.
6. Beat egg in a small bowl until frothy; stir in the milk.
7. Pour egg mixture into the well you made in the flour mixture, and stir with a fork to form a soft dough.
