  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold)
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds

  • 1 - 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a fork or potato masher. You want the butter well distributed and the mixture to be crumbly.
  • Add the pomegranate seeds, stirring to combine. 
  • In a small bowl, mix together eggs, cream, orange extract, and orange zest.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and pour the egg mixture into the well. Mix altogether until just combined.
  • Turn the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet and gently form it into a circle about 10 inches in diameter and 3/4 inches thick.
  • Brush the dough lightly with cream and pre-cut into 8- 10 wedges.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 16-20 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 - 2 tbsp of orange juice and powdered sugar until it is the right consistency. 
  • Drizzle over warm scones, and serve!
