I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, weekends are for baking. …And for brunch!

Way way back when, I made some delicious Summer Strawberry Scones. And while I had half a mind to go back and update that original, I decided to take a slightly different route this time around. Instead I made these Skinny Grapefruit Scones.

As per usual, my mother looked at me like I was a little crazy when I started to make them. Apparently she thinks that grapefruit in scones sounds strange? But, I promise you that it’s not.

This sweet little scones are light and crumbly just like they’re supposed to be. There are plenty of big pieces of grapefruit in there too. I suppose that the idea for these scones started out when I got my hands on some local grapefruit and rose water jam. While I’ve been enjoying the jam on toast, I thought it would be even better on some perfectly paired scones.

These scones are fairly easy to make too and with just a few ingredients. They’re almost fool proof. Almost. It would take a lot to flub them up.

I will say though, that these scones are not overly sweet. They are definitely best served with some jam of some sort or another and some coffee or tea. That’s just how I like my scones to be.
