Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a big tray with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and lemon zest. Make a small dip in the center, then add the egg, butter, and milk. Use a fork to mix until it just holds together, then gently press it into a smooth dough on a flat surface.
