Date Scones.
June 27th, 2009
Nothing is as welcoming as a batch of freshly made scones served with jam.
Makes nine scones.
Ingredients.
- 2 cups of flour
- 4 teaspoons of baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 2/3 cup of chopped dates
- 3/4 cup of soy milk
- 1/4 cup of canola oil
- Jam and soy cream to serve
Method.
Sift the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Add the chopped dates.
Gently mix in the soy milk and oil until just combined.
Turn out onto a floured bench and fold together with your hands a few times.
Roll the dough out into a half inch thick square. Cut into nine equal squares. Gently push the edges in to make each scone circular and place on a baking tray.
Brush the tops with a little milk. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in a hot oven (200 C/390 F) until the scones are a little browned on top.
