I plan to make this as soon as I find a grater! In the meantime, I don’t have any buttermilk, so I went searching and About.com has a great idea of making it with regular milk and vinegar or… lemon juice! Making your own buttermilk with lemon juice would be perfect for this recipe! 1 T lemon juice in the bottom of a 1 cup measure, then top it off to the 1 c line with milk and let it sit for five minutes. Voila! Buttermilk! Now I’m off to find the grater…

Awesome! Not too sweet. I added some fresh bluberries and it was a great addition!

Yummy! Not very sweet, but perfect with jam, whipped cream, or even just some butter. Adding the lemon zest after the flour seems a little strange, though; I’m not sure that I got the distribution I would have liked. I will probably add it to the liquids next time.
