Recipes - Date Oven Scones
Ingredients
Method:
-
Preheat the oven
to 230C/450F/Gas 8. Sift the flour and salt into a
bowl and, using a pastry blender or your fingers,
rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine bread
crumbs. Add the sugar and chopped dates, and
stir to blend.
-
Make a well in
the centre of the dry ingredients and add the milk.
Stir with a fork until the mixture comes together in
a fairly soft dough.
-
Turn the dough
out on to a lightly floured surface and knead gently
for 30 seconds. Roll it out to a 2cm/3/4in
thickness. Cut out circles with a biscuit cutter.
Arrange them, not touching, on an ungreased baking
sheet, then glaze with the beaten egg.
-
Bake in the oven
for 8-10 minutes, or until well risen and golden
brown. Using a palette knife, transfer the scones to
a wire rack to cool completely.
