Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Add the cold butter to the bowl and use your fingers to rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice until just combined.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
