Directions

Step #1 Preheat the oven to 425°.
Step #2 Sift the flour, baking powder, salt & baking soda into a large bowl.
Step #3 Using a pastry mixer or 2 knives, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Step #5 Add the grapefruit juice to the sugar & stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Step #6 Pour the grapefruit juice into the mixture in the large bowl & stir just until the biscuit dough comes together.
Step #7 Scrape the biscuit dough out onto a lightly floured work surface & knead 2 or 3 times until smooth.
Step #8 Roll out the dough to a 1/2-inch-thick square.
Step #9 Cut the dough into 2-inch squares & transfer to a large baking sheet.

Step #12 Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving.
Step #13 Make Ahead: The biscuits can be baked early in the day & stored at about room temp.
