Juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoon)

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees // air fryer 160 degrees.

In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the flour, baking soda, protein, baking powder, cornflour, sugar and salt.

Whisk the butter into the flour until incorporated, a few seconds.

In another bowl, mix the yoghurt, extract and lemon juice and zest until combined.
