Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cups Pitted dates (chopped)
• 0.66 cups Heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
• 1 unit Large egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped dates until evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently mix with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the scones with a small amount of heavy cream for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the scones cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature, with butter or jam if desired.
