  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped nuts.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
  8. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
  9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Enjoy your warm, delicious Lemon Nut Scones with your favorite beverage!
