These Orange Buttery Pomegranate Scones are a great treat for winter. They taste great with pomegranate and orange and are soft and sweet. On a cold day, enjoy them with a hot coffee or tea.

Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 tablespoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cubed. 1/2 cup fresh pomegranate seeds. Zest of 1 orange. 1/3 cup fresh orange juice. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Instructions: Warm your oven up to 400F 200C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Put the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix them together. Mix the cold butter cubes into the dry ingredients. You can use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dough until it looks like big crumbs. Add the orange zest and pomegranate seeds and mix well. Fresh orange juice, heavy cream, and vanilla extract should all be mixed together in a different bowl. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix it in just a little. Don't mix the dough too much; it should still be a little sticky. Put the dough on a floured surface and knead it a few times until it starts to stick together. Make a circle out of the dough that's about an inch thick, and then cut it into 8 wedges that are all the same size. Put the scones on the baking sheet that has been prepared. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Let the scones cool down a bit before you serve them. Enjoy the delicious flavors of winter!
