Directions:
Warm up the oven: 
Put parchment paper on a baking pan and preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Combine Dry Ingredients: 
Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a big bowl.

Cream Sugar and Butter: 
In a separate bowl, beat sugar and softened butter until they are light and fluffy.  Mix thoroughly after adding the vanilla extract.

Incorporate Wet Ingredients: 
Slowly incorporate the milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest into the butter mixture.  Mix until incorporated.

Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients: 
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually until a soft dough forms.  Take care not to mix too much.

To form the biscuits:
Roll out the dough to a thickness of approximately 1/2 inch on a lightly floured board. Cut out biscuits with a glass or cookie cutter.

Bake: 
After the baking sheet is ready, put the biscuits on it and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn brown.

Before serving:
Allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack.  Savour it with a cup of coffee or tea!

Last Tip: 
Drizzle a simple lemon glaze over the chilled biscuits for an added zesty boost.  Drizzle over the top after combining 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth.  This gives the biscuits a delightfully soft texture and a sweet, tangy aftertaste.
