Steps:
- In a bowl, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in dates. Combine eggs and milk; stir into crumb mixture just until blended (dough will be soft).
- Turn onto a lightly floured surface. With lightly floured hands, gently knead dough 10 times. Pat into a 9-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Using a floured knife, cut into six 3-in. squares; cut each square diagonally in half.
- Place on a greased baking sheet. Combine the cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over scones. Bake at 400 degrees F for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack.
Tips:
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the scones hold their shape and rise properly.
- Use cold butter: This will also help the scones hold their shape and create flaky layers.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the scones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Serve the scones warm: Scones are best enjoyed warm from the oven. You can also toast them lightly before serving.
