Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup Pitted dates, chopped
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped dates, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk and vanilla extract, whisking until combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, gently stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough begins to form.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds until it comes together.

Step 8

Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
