and baking powder into a large bowl and mix.
2. Add the butter then rub with fingers into the dry mixture
until the mixture becomes fine like crumbs. Then stir in the sugar.
3. Put the milk in a tub and heat for 30 seconds in the
microwave so it’s warm. Add the vanilla and lemon juice. Then put it to the
side and put a baking sheet to the oven.
4. Make a hole in the dry mix and add the liquid. Combine it
quickly with a knife; it will seem very wet at first.
5. Scatter flour on a surface and put the dough on it. Put
flour on your hands too. Fold the dough over 2-3 times until it’s a little smoother.
Then pat the dough into a round that is roughly 4cm deep.
6. Take a round cutter and dip it in flour before cutting out
the dough.
7. Bake for 10 minutes until they are golden on the top.
