Date Scones

















It has been so stormy and chilly here that we've been dying for warm comfort food, we were so excited waiting for them to come out of the oven, they smell incredible when they're cooking! We ate lots of these while they were still warm with butter on top, and tea of course!

3 cups flour (I used 2 cups organic white and 1 cup brown rice flour)
6 tsps baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
50g butter or 50 ml olive oil (i like to use olive oil)
1 cup milk (any kind, you may need to add a little more, just see how it looks)
3/4 cup chopped dates
1 tbspn honey
1/2 tsp cinnamon

sift flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and dates into bowl, cut in butter/oil and mix until it looks like breadcrumbs, add honey and then stir the milk in quickly to form a soft dough. Knead lightly, dust oven tray with four, cut scone mix into squares and brush tops with milk. Bake at 220C for 10 mins.. or until golden!
Xx

  1. Look delicious - I'm just about to make some - think I'll see how they go with wholemeal flour.
