After coming back from Istanbul on Sunday, all my dreams are filled with stalls of fruits, of which the most present of all are the pomegranates. I dream rows and rows of red wonders, usually arranged by their sizes. So, seeing this gorgeous looking scone-cake, I had to share it with you.
Ingredients
- 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
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, whisk cream and egg until smooth.
- 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.)
- 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.
