Pomegranate And Chocolate Chunk Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
60 ml milk
2 eggs
1 cup pomegranate seeds
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chunk

Preparation

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 1/4 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\u00b0F.
Bake for 5 minutes then turn the temperature down to 350\u00b0F and bake for a further 5 to 10 minutes.
Take out of the oven and rest them on a cooling rack.
