Pomegranate and Chocolate scones are fluffy and moist on the inside, crunchy on the outside. The seeds burst with tangy sweetness when you bite into them, and the chocolate chips add a rich creaminess.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 60ml milk
- 2 eggs
- 1cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/2cup of chocolate chunks
Directions
Cut the butter (which must be cold) into small cubes.
Place the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, sugar and butter into a bowl. Mix until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the milk and the eggs. Mix until they form a dough, but be careful not to overwork, add the chocolate and pomegranates.
Place the mixture onto a floured work service and roll out to a thickness of 1 inch.
Dip a 2 ¼ inch round pastry cutter in flour, then cut out the scones and then turn the scones over onto a baking sheet.
Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven set at 400°F.
Bake for 5 minutes then turn the temperature down to 350°F and bake for a further 5 to 10 minutes.
Take out of the oven and rest them on a cooling rack.
