Sift the flour into a large bowl, then mix in the baking powder and salt.
3
Dice the cold butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Add the granulated sugar, sour cream, and egg, then start kneading the dough.
5
Pour in the cooled mint-infused milk and gradually work it into the dough until evenly distributed.
6
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces, then knead it into the dough.
7
Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) thick, then cut out scones using a cookie cutter.

Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the tops with beaten egg for a beautiful sheen.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
