Grapefruit Honey Yogurt Scones

Ingredients:

• 1 grapefruit-- zested then segmented and coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 Tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cut into 1/4 inch cubes

Directions:

Position oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil, parchment paper, or silicone mat.

In a measuring cup or small bowl combine yogurt, honey, and vanilla. In another small bowl, rub the grapefruit zest and sugar together until the sugar is moist and fragrant.

Place the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of the sugar mixture in a food processor. Pulse until combined. Add the cubed butter and pulse in 1-second intervals until the flour mixture resembles coarse meal.

Pour the yogurt mixture over the flour mixture and pulse until dough is crumbly. Transfer to a medium sized bowl and fold in the coarsely chopped grapefruit pieces.

Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Shape into an 8-inch round, 1-inch thick circle. Cut dough into 6 triangles. Place each triangle on the prepared baking sheet. Top each one with the remaining sugar mixture.

Bake for approximately 15-17 minutes or until scones are golden brown. Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
