FLORIDA GRAPEFRUIT BISCUITS
I have run across this recipe over and over from different sources. It is based on a recipe from Lake Hamilton's Treasure of Personal Recipes, published in 1956 by the Lake Hamilton Community Church of Lake Hamilton, Florida, these wonderfully flaky biscuits have a funky coral hue and tangy citrus flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°.
- Sift flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda into a large bowl. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- In a small bowl, rub 1 tablespoon of the sugar with the grapefruit zest until the sugar is deep pink color. Add the grapefruit juice to the sugar and stir until sugar dissolves.
- Pour the grapefruit juice into the large bowl with the flour/butter mixture and stir just until the biscuit dough comes together.
- Scrape biscuit dough out onto a floured surface and knead 2 or 3 times. Roll out dough to a 1/2" thick square. Cut the dough into 2" squares and transfer to a baking sheet.
- Lightly brush tops of biscuits with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15 minutes, or until they have risen and are browned on the bottom.
- Cool slightly before serving.
