4 C of flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 C of cold butter, diced
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 2/3 C of milk
Allow the oven to preheat to 450 and flour a baking sheet shaking off any excess.
In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour and baking soda.
Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
In a separate bowl whisk the lemon juice and milk until blended in well.
Allow the mixture to stand for 1 minute until lightly thickened.
Add the flour mixture to the liquid working it in to form soft dough.
Knead the dough a few times or until you can form a ball.
Flour and flat surface and roll the dough out to at least 1 inch thickness.
Use a cookie cutter or flour rimmed glass to cut out the scones.
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the top of the scones with a little milk.
Bake 20 minutes or until golden.
