My kids love to help make these scones for Sunday morning breakfast. They also love to eat them-the dates are chewy and sweet. Roni Goodell, Spanish Fork, Utah Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
4 tablespoons sugar, divided |
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
5 tablespoons cold butter, cubed |
2/3 cup chopped dates |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1/3 cup milk |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in dates. Combine eggs and milk; stir into crumb mixture just until blended (dough will be soft).
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead dough 10 times. Pat into a 9-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Using a floured knife, cut into six 3-in. squares; cut each square diagonally in half.
3. Place on a greased baking sheet. Combine the cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over scones.
4. Bake at 400° for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
