Unfortunately, the mixture was extremely wet. It made it hard to work with. I had to dust a lot of flour just to get the mixture to the point I could pop what wasn't a scone shape onto the baking paper.They tasted great but didn't rise well.

Did double mixture so got 16 med size scones cooked for 17 minutes. Both the top and bottoms were yummy for me but the bottoms were a little crisp how I like them, 15 minutes would have been perfect!

Great date scones. I am sure the egg makes a difference

Lovely! Great amount of sweetness and baking powder. The only change I will make next time is to add a larger ‘pinch' of salt. No longer can I say I'm not a scone maker!

Recommend adding cinnamon to really elevate what is otherwise really just a scone

Turned out quite dry despite adding more milk than the recipe called for, but honestly pretty good when you cut them open and add some jam inside.
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.
