Really, I'm surprised at the extreme variations of these scones. When so many people have had success with them and the minority haven't I'd suggest that baking is not your forte so just leave it to those who know what they are doing and don't be so rude as you describe your failures, if you were talking to someone about the negative result you got from their recipe you wouldn't speak like that so don't sit behind your keyboard and deliver such venom.

Totally wrong amount of baking powder (I.e not enough) These turn out more like hard bread rolls than scones. Disappointing how wrong Chelsea can get a simple scone recipe. Do not use!

This recipe calls for way too much liquid. I had to add easily extra 1/2 cup of flour before I could kneel the dough.

Excellent scone recipe! Best recipe i have tried so far!
Preheat oven to 200°C bake and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Stir in Chelsea White Sugar.
Rub in butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the chopped dates.
Combine the egg and milk in a jug. Stir into the flour mixture to make a soft sticky dough.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 30 seconds or until just smooth.
Pat the dough down into a round or rectangle about 2cm thick. Cut the dough into about 8 squares or rounds, place on prepared tray and brush tops with a little milk.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve with butter and Chelsea Honey Maple Flavoured Syrup.
