Рецепт Date Scones [Giveaway Closed]
When it comes to scones, I can come up with hundreds of recipes. And how do I do that you ask? Simple, scones are cake and muffin’s cousins (just kidding) but in reality you can add any flavor used in cakes and muffins.
Today I was actually craving sticky date pudding, but don’t have much time on hand, so I ended up with adding dates in my scones.
Dates are energy boosting fruit and I love to have some with my coffee whenever available. When I added the dates to my scones it made them softer from the inside and in every bite I could taste a small piece of date.
It’s a great breakfast, it tastes good and healthy for you. Talking about health there is one more thing I’d like to share with you.
Lemon Water On-the-Go from Full Circle Home. This product is great to have if you are looking to follow a healthy lifestyle, it will always remind you to have your lemon water. I like the design of the bottle, since I can have a good grip when holding it. The soft base allows me to place the bottle on any surface without the fear of scratching or breaking it.
I usually have my lemon water plain, but at times and to add more benefit I add a teaspoon of honey. Other times I add some mint after tapping it with the back of a spoon since this release the oils in the mint.
If working out, then I add a small piece of ginger, this boosts the metabolism even more. But if you want to taste the real deal, add some raspberries.
Storing and cleaning this product is no fuss.

- 1 tablespoon baking powder

Preheat oven to 180C – 350F.
In a bowl add the pitted dates and hot milk, keep them aside for 5 minutes. This will soften the dates.
Add the cinnamon and sugar to the previous mixture and mix well. Use this mixture only after it’s cold.
In a different bowl, add flour, baking powder, and salt, whisk to combine.
Add the butter to the flour and using a fork or a wooden spoon mix in the butter, until you get bread crumbs like mixture.
Add the date and milk mixture, to the flour and butter, using a fork mix gently. Don’t over mix.
Place the dough on lightly floured surface, gather the dough to form a ball, then press it down to ½ an inch disc.

Bake for 20 minutes, then let cool.
Enjoy with butter or jam, personally it tastes great on its own.
