In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, basil, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and lemonzest. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture. (Mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.) Addthe cheese, and toss together until combined.? Add 2/3 cup milk and the lemon juice to the flour mixture. Stir just until the dough comes together, being carefulnot to overmix. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, knead gently 4 to 5 times, and then pat or rollthe dough into a 1 1/2-inch-thick circle. Using a 2-inch flower-shaped cutter, cut dough into 12 scones, rerolling asnecessary. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet.? In a small bowl, lightly beat together the egg and remaining 1 tablespoon milk. Brush the tops of the scones withegg wash. Bake until scones are pale golden brown and a wooden pick inserted near the middle comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes.
