Directions:

2. Whisk together milk & sour cream. Keep chilled until ready to use.
3. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, lemon zest and sugar.
4. Take frozen butter and toss with the flour mixture until all of the butter is coated, then fold in sour cream & milk mixture.
5. Next, lightly dust the counter-top with flour.
