Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 0.75 cups Florida grapefruit juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Florida grapefruit zest
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (optional, for brushing tops)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the freshly squeezed Florida grapefruit juice and zest to the mixture. Stir gently with a fork or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter to cut out circles, gently re-rolling the scraps as needed. You should get about 8 biscuits.

Step 6

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. If desired, brush the tops with heavy cream for a golden finish.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden on top and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm, with a drizzle of honey or a pat of butter!
