Pomegranate Scones

I have been sitting on this recipe the whole winter and I haven’t been able to post it until today ha! I wasn’t quite sure how these scones were going to turn out. They were delicious but different from my traditional recipe.

I look forward to making them again

They were scrumptious…..

Pomegranate Scones

two cups flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

8 tablespoons unsalted butter (I like it to be very cold, even frozen)

1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds

1/2 cup of half & half (or sour cream, heavy whipping cream, evaporated milk, whatever you have on hand)

1 egg

Directions

(Directions adapted from All Recipes)

1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in pomegranates.
3. In a small bowl, whisk cream and egg until smooth.
4. Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.)
5. Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.
