Heat the oven to 220°C (200° fan) 425°F gas 7. Grease and flour a large baking tray.
2.
Mix together the milk, vanilla and lemon juice and set aside.

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and make a well in the centre.

Pour the milk mixture into the well and mix in quickly with a knife.
