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.

WALNUT SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Mix the flour, baking powder and a good pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the chopped walnuts and the milk, mix together using a cutlery knife until clumping together, then tip onto your work surface and squash together to form a ball - try not to work the dough too much or your scones will be heavy. Flatten the dough a little with your hand to make a disc roughly 3cm thick, then use a sharp knife to cut into 6 triangles.
• Transfer to a baking sheet, brush with a little beaten egg, then place a walnut half on each scone. Bake for 15 mins until golden and puffed, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve with soft goat's cheese and fig jam, if you like.

DATE & WALNUT SCONES

Steps:

• Prehaeat fan forced oven to 180c.
• Sift the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl. Add the dates, walnuts and lemon zest & mix lightly. Make a well in the centre of the mixture and set bowl aside.
• Whisk the milk, cream and the eggs in a seperate small bowl and pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture.
• Using your fingertips, gently draw the flour mixture into the milk mixture to form a soft dough. (Do not overwork the dough or scones will be too tough).
• Tip the dough onto a clean, floured work surface and gently form into a ball. Press dough lightly using fingertips ~ just to flatten dough.
• Gently roll out the dough until 2-3cm thick then using a 5-6cm scone cutter cut the dough into rounds. Place rounds on a non stick baking tray and brush each round with a little milk.
• Bake scones for 20 minutes or until golden.
• Serve warm with favourite topping.
