Steps to Make Scones:

• Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your scones will bake evenly and achieve that lovely golden-brown color.
• Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients thoroughly.
• Step 3: Cut in the Butter - Take your cold or frozen butter and cut it into small cubes. Add the butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Step 4: Add Pomegranate Seeds - Gently fold in 3/4 cup of pomegranate seeds into the flour mixture. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep the seeds intact for that juicy burst of flavor.
• Step 5: Combine Wet Ingredients - In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of evaporated milk (or your choice of milk) and 1 large egg until well combined.
• Step 6: Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients - Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
• Step 7: Shape the Dough - Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. With floured hands, pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 wedges or use a round cutter for perfectly shaped scones.
• Step 8: Bake the Scones - Transfer the scones to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a little extra evaporated milk and sprinkle with the additional tablespoon of sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Step 9: Cool and Enjoy - Once baked, allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor!
