Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Whisk dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) together in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3

Whisk milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vinegar in a small bowl and combine with the dry mixture until dough is moistened.

4

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead briefly, and shape into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut into 10 wedges and place on a baking sheet.

5

Bake in the oven until edges are golden brown (12-15 minutes). Cool for 15 minutes.
