Ingredients

Adjust oven rack to lower and middle positions and preheat oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, baking powder, and salt and pulse 3 times to combine. Add sugar, lemon zest, and rosemary and pulse 3 times to combine. Add diced butter to food processor and pulse until butter is the size of peas, about 5 pulses.
Add sour cream, milk, and lemon juice and pulse until dough comes together into a ball. Lightly flour a clean work surface. Remove dough from food processor and roll out to 1/3-inch thickness. Use biscuit cutter to cut rounds from the dough and transfer scones to baking sheets. Reroll and repeat with remaining dough as necessary.
Brush tops of scones with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden at the edges, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for at least 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
