Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- 3/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vinegar
For the icing
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp honey

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Meanwhile in a bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry blender cut in the butter until it looks like small crumbs.
- In a small bowl whisk together the milk, lemon juice and vinegar. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until a moisten dough forms. Turn out to a lightly-floured surface and knead 4 times. Pat into a 1-inch round.
- Using a round cutter or a cup, cut dough into rounds and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake the scones until the bottoms are just tan, about 11 to 13 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes.
- While the scones are cooling prepare the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and honey. Spread on scones and top with lemon zest. Serve.
