- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and work it until it resembles coarse crumbs.

- Shape the dough: Lightly flour your countertop and turn the dough out, then pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
- Cut into triangles: Slice the dough into 8 wedges with a sharp knife.
