Date Scones

I love date scones, but very rarely make them.

I don't use a recipe, just use what my Mum taught me to do when I was little. just sifted flour and a little icing sugar sifted together. Some butter rubbed into the flour. Some dates chopped, then also rubbed into the flour a little. Then add some milk to form a sticky dough, mixing with a knife.

Turn the dough out onto a well floured surface and pat into a rectangle shape. Cut the scones, place onto a greased oven try and bake in a hot oven about 15 - 20 minutes. Serve warm with butter.
