Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
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.
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.
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.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. If desired, brush the tops with heavy cream for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden on top and cooked through.
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!
