- 4-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in milk and lemon juice just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times.
