Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

3. Cream butter and sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and sour cream (or yogurt) until well combined.

5. Combine everything: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.

6. Shape the biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set.

8. Cool: Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

9. Prepare glaze (optional): Mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled biscuits.

10. Serve and enjoy!
