Cranberry & Grapefruit Scones

212

Every Saturday morning I bake something for breakfast. This past Saturday just happened to be these Cranberry and Grapefruit Scones that were incredibly moist and flavorful.

8
2 cups flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
Zest from two grapefruit
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1/2 cup 3% milk (or cream, but I didn't have any)
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup fresh cranberries
flesh from one whole grapefruit
Preheat oven to 350 F and line one large cookie sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, zest, and salt. Stir all ingredients to well. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixtures resembles coarse oatmeal. In a separate bowl, add milk (or cream), egg, and vanilla and whisk until mixed well. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and stir until combined. Add cranberries and grapefruit and gently fold into mixture. On a well floured surface turn out dough and form into a flat disk about 1 inch thick. You may need to add flour to the dough to keep it from sticking to your hands. Once disk is made, cut into 8 equal pieces, using flour when needed between each piece. Place each piece on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and brush off any excess flour from the dough. Sprinkle each piece with sugar and bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let completely on a cooling rack. While scones are cooling, make your glaze. Use enough grapefruit juice to get the desired consistency you want for your glaze. I like mine pretty runny so the glaze flows over the entire scone. Once scones are cool, pour glaze over each one and enjoy!
