Date Scones

Date Scones

These scones make the perfect afternoon treat. There’s no need to add extra sugar since the dates naturally sweeten them. They are perfect with a cup of tea and a thin spread of butter, or even jam and cream if you’re feeling extra-indulgent. Make sure the butter is chilled to get the perfect scone consistency. Use either milk or beaten egg to brush the tops of the scones before they are baked to give them a beautiful glaze.
