Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Mix flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk milk, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, lemon zest, and vinegar in a small bowl and stir into flour mixture until moistened; turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead dough briefly for 5 or 6 turns. Pat or roll dough out into a 1 inch-thick round. Cut into 10 wedges and arrange on a baking sheet leaving 1 inch between each wedge.
- Bake in preheated oven until bottom edges are lightly tan, 11 to 14 minutes. Allow scones to cool for 15 minutes.
- While scones are cooling, stir confectioners' sugar, melted butter, 2 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Stir water into sugar mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture is easily drizzled.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C fan / 200°C / 390°F and line a baking tray with baking / parchment paper.
- Sift the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the lemonade and cream and mix to form a soft and sticky dough. Don't over mix otherwise, the scones will be dense.
- Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. If it's too sticky to work with, add a little more flour. Bring together and knead lightly 3 or 4 times then pat down with your hands to a thickness of approximately 2.5cm (1").
- Cut out rounds with a 6cm (2.5") cutter. Dip the cutter in flour first so it does not stick to the dough. Transfer each round carefully with a spatula to the baking tray and arrange so that they are slightly touching each other (this helps them to rise).
- Brush milk over the top of each one and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the tops are golden.
- Place on a wire rack to cool then serve with jam and cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine 1/3 cup sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl and massage them together using your fingertips. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk until well combined.
- Using the large holes of a box grater, grate frozen butter into dry ingredients; using a fork, toss together until butter shreds are coated. In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk egg into 3/4 cup cream until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a fork, stir in cream mixture until just combined. (The dough should be crumbly; do not overwork.)
- Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet. Gather dough together and pat into a 7-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Brush tops with remaining tablespoon of cream and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Let cool then using a spatula, transfer scones to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whisk confectioners' sugar with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, adding more lemon juice by the 1/2 teaspoon as needed until it has a thick glaze consistency, similar to honey. Using a spoon, drizzle glaze over cooled scones; let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use cold butter and heavy cream: This will help create flaky and tender scones.
- Work the dough as little as possible: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the scones hold their shape and rise properly.
- Bake the scones in a hot oven: This will help create a golden brown crust.
- Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings: Butter, jam, or cream are all delicious options.
