Recipe Inspired by “Mulberry Spelt Scones” in “The No-Sugar! Desserts and Baking Cookbook” by Ysanne Spevack.
**Ingredients:**
160 g Pitted Dates
120 ml Hot Tea
1 cup Whole Wheat flour
1 cup All -Purpose Flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
3/4 cups cold unsalted butter
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup almond milk
1 egg
Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener for topping (optional)
​
**Recipe:**
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit
Chop or grind dates and pour hot tea over them. Let them sit for 5 minutes.
Sift flours, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Rub the butter quickly and lightly into flour with fingers until the consistency of bread crumbs.
Drain dates and discard the liquid. Mix in dates using fingers
Beat egg, vanilla and almond milk together in a small town. Gradually pour egg mixture into the flour mixture a bit at time. Dough should be wet and sticky but still hold form. Set aside extra egg mixture.
Dust contour with flour and flatten dough using hands into a rectangle about 2.5cm/1in thick and 6cm/2.5in wide.
For American-style scones, cut the dough in quarters, and then on a reverse diagonal, cut into eights. Pick up each one, and quickly dust each side so scone is completely dusted.
Put scones on baking sheet spaced at least 2.5cm/1in apart, as thy will spread when baked. Quickly brush the scones with the remaining egg mixture.
Bake 14-20 minutes in the preheated open until rise and golden. Dust with powdered monk fruit sweetener with a sifter or eat as is or with butter.
​
I think they turned out good. Tho, I would put less dates in it if I make date scones again. Maybe 100 grams instead.
