STARBUCK DATE SCONE
Scone Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup Bran
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter -- chilled
- 1 Egg
- 2/3 cup Buttermilk
- 2/3 cup Chopped dates
Scone Preparation:
Combine the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, the bran, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon and brown sugar. Cut in the butter. (Or combine in a food processor, just until crumbly.) Add the egg, buttermilk and dates; do not over mix. (If the dough seems too sticky to work with add a couple more tablespoons flour.) Shape the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick on a floured surface. Cut into 12 triangles. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet in a preheated 350-degree oven about 25 minutes. Cool on a rack.
