Decided to make myself some date scones this afternoon, I was feeling in the mood for something a little sweet, these always fills the gap and freeze very well.
I think the recipe comes off an old Edmonds Baking Powder box had it so long cant remember.
Here it is.
Scones
3 Cups flour
4 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp salt
1- 1 1/2 cups of milk I add a
little water instead of all milk.
50 gram butter.
I added a few dates to this recipe but you could add sultanas, whatever.
Stir dry ingredients, rub in butter, add milk and dates and mix quickly to a soft dough i feel you really need all the liquid. Turn onto a floured board roll lightly or pat out until 3/4 in thick, cut and place on a cold oven tray and bake in hot oven 230c 450 f
for 10 to 15 mins.
I had some homemade plum jam with them, knew it was homemade as I found a few stones in it!!!
On the knitting side of things haven't had a very productive week, mainly because I started lots of things and ended up for one reason or another frogging them. Back to making some more merino socks for Julies market next weekend. Easy knits.
I purchased a skein of VP yarn last week, lovely variegated colours. I am not sure what to knit with this but think it would knit up nice for a pair of socks for Josh. Hi Josh I know you go to my blog every day! Hope you have a great weekend.
Well it seems we are in for a rough night tonight with heavy rain warnings. It has been a glorious day today, like summer.
Take care and have a great weekend

Mum your scones look so yummy date scones are my favourite too and i love plum jam, (now i feel like eating date scones, do you have a gluten free recipe for me so that i can make some?)did you make the blue tea cosy?
ReplyDeleteHi Julie .....Thanks yes did make the tea cosy ages ago, thought I would use the teapot and nice china for a change. Dont have gluten free recipe I am afraid. You could just experiment.
