2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, milk, and vanilla extract until the dough comes together.
5. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to ensure it is well combined.
6. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds.
7. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on a wire rack.
10. Once cooled, dust the biscuits with powdered sugar before serving.
