Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Step 3
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, rub the cold, diced butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Add the brown sugar, chopped dates, and walnuts to the mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 5mm thickness.
Step 7
Use a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into your desired shapes and place them onto the prepared baking tray, leaving a small gap between each biscuit.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden around the edges.
Step 9
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
