 Date scones 
Ingredients
- Dates (Fresh) 1/2 cup chopped, fresh
- Butter 1 tbl
- Milk (Low Fat) 3/4 cup
- Flour (Wholemeal Self Raising) 2 cups
- Lemon Juice 2 tsp
- Baking Powder 1 tsp
RECIPE STEPS
- Add lemon juice to milk and set aside for 5 minutes until milk thickens.
- Sift flour and baking powder. Rub in butter (use a food processor, if available).
- Add dates and milk and mix quickly to a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface, knead
lightly and pat to 2.5 cm thickness. Cut into 12 scones.
- Place scones on a non-stick baking tray, leaving about 1 cm between them. Brush tops with a
little milk (so they will brown) and bake in a hot oven (220 C) for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool on a rack for scones with crisp edges or wrap in a clean tea towel to cool for soft-edged
scones. Delicious on their own or with butter.
