Date Nut Scones Recipe Recipe For Meatloaf

DATE NUT SCONES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly butter a 10-inch diameter circle in the center of a baking sheet or use a well seasoned baking stone.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into 1/2-inch cubes and distribute them over the flour mixture. With a pastry blender, or two knives (or even using your fingers), cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, stir together the milk, egg, and vanilla. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine. Don't worry if the dough is sticky - it's supposed to be. With lightly floured hands, knead in the dates and nuts until evenly distributed.
• On your prepared baking sheet or stone, pat the dough into a 9-inch-diameter circle. If desired, brush the egg mixture over the top and sides of the dough. Using a serrated knife, cut into 8 wedges. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center of a scone comes out clean.
• Remove the baking sheet to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm, or cool completely and store in an airtight container. I found that these freeze very well also.

SPICED DATE & NUT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lightly oil a baking sheet or mist with with nonstick cooking spray, and set it aside.
• Place the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, allspice, cardamom, and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir them with a wire whisk until well combined.
• Stir in the dates and walnuts, making sure that the date pieces are coated with flour and do not stick together.
• Place the flaxseeds in a dry blender and grind them into a powder.
• Add the water and blend until a gummy mixture is achieved, about 30 seconds.
• Add the milk, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla and process until frothy and well-blended, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour into the flour mixture and mix just until everything is evenly moistened.
• Using a 1/3 cup measure per scone,drop the batter in dollops onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between dollops.
• (you may need to scoop out the batter from the measuring cup with a spoon, rubber spatula, or your fingers.) Flatten the scones slightly into irregular shapes about 3 inches in diameter.
• Combine the sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle the mixture generously over the top of the scones.
• Bake on the center shelf of the oven for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown.
• With a spatula, transfer the scones to a cooling rack.
• Serve hot or warm.
• Cool leftovers completely before storing in an airtight container in the refriderator for future use.

MAPLE OAT NUT SCONES

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, ground oats, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine. Add the butter pieces and use a pastry cutter to work the butter and dry ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans.
• Whisk together the cream, maple extract and egg in a small bowl. Pour into the flour mixture, stirring gently until it all comes together. (The mixture will not come together in one cohesive ball; it should be in a few large clumps with some crumbs in the bowl.) If it is overly crumbly and will not come together at all, add a couple of tablespoons of extra cream and work it in.
• Turn the dough out onto a cutting board or floured surface and use your hands to press it into a 6- to 8-inch circle about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 8 equal wedges (or you can cut into smaller wedges to get more).
• Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake until poufy and set and just barely golden, 20 to 24 minutes. (They shouldn't have much color on them at all.) Allow to cool completely.
• For the icing: Combine the powdered sugar, milk, butter, coffee and maple extract in a large bowl. Make sure the icing's thick but still pourable.
• Drizzle a very generous amount of the icing onto each scone, then sprinkle on a few more chopped pecans. Allow the icing to set completely, then serve.
• The scones will keep nice and fresh for days in a plastic zipper bag.

OATMEAL DATE DROP SCONES

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the milk, the egg, the brown sugar, and the vanilla until the mixture is combined well. In another bowl stir together the flour, the oats, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the salt and blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sir in the dates and the milk mixture until the mixture just forms a sticky dough. Drop the dough by 1/3-cup measures onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake the scones in the middle of a preheated 400°F. for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden. (Alternatively the scones may be dropped onto a hot greased griddle and cooked over moderate heat, turning them, for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden on both sides and cooked through.)
