Cinnamon & Date Scones

Ingredients:

3 cups flour
5 tsp baking powder
80g Westgold butter – chopped/grated
1 1/2 cups of milk
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups finely chopped dates

Note:

If you prefer a plain scone simply remove the cinnamon & dates from this recipe. 

Method:

Preheat your oven to 220°c. Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then 'cut in' (stirring in with a knife) the grated butter until it has the consistency of bread crumbs.

Stir in chopped dates, add milk and mix into a dough. Knead the dough and spread onto a greased baking tray.

Cut your dough into equal sized pieces and space on the tray. Bake for 10 minutes until golden. Serve with an extra dollop of Westgold butter!
